The Fossil Professor
Arthur Symphonia
♂ 26 YEARS OLD
Current Region
Veria, on the outskirts of Liggs
OCCUPATION
Pokemon Professor of Paleontology and Fossil Studies
A native of the Kanto Region, Arthur was born in Pewter to a Pokemon Researcher, his life taking a turn for the worse when his father died in front of him, crushed by a boulder in a horrible accident, which traumatized him for the rest of his life. Devoting himself to his studies to honor his father, the man became the paragon and leader of his field, devoting himself to the studies of Pokemon Fossils and Paleontology. For a long time, he stayed in an apartment as a “lab,” until Mimoza came into his life, and his now sister-figure and him live in his actual lab, a grand and majestic manor and laboratory in the Liggs. Wise, level-headed, and almost permanently polite, the Fossil Professor can be defined in three words: hemophobic, smart, and gay. So gay. His hobbies include battling, raising his Pokemon, reading, and keeping Mimoza same from harm.

Mandragora is Arthur’s 1st Pokemon, found ages ago, back when he was 9, in the Fossil Cave in which his father died. He had returned there, hoping to find a friend for his Pokemon adventure, and there was Mandragora, shy and unwilling. With a little coaxing and some convincing, Arthur managed to befriend the Pokemon, and from that day forth, they have been together for 17 years. She evolved ages ago, in a struggle to defend Arthur from a rampaging Hydregion.
Stoic, polite, and well-mannered, Mandragora is the matron of Symphonia Labs, and the undoubted mother-figure of all in there, including the Professor. She’s quiet and reserved, and very rarely bothers others, mainly just sticking to Arthur’s side, rooting down if possible and enjoying the sunlight for some nice photosynthesizing. Ridiculously protective of Arthur, while she abhors needless violence, she will do everything in her power to protect the Professor, as he did for her. While she’s very kind and collected, she’s incredibly strong, and no other Pokemon of Symphonia Labs has yet been able to best her in a duel. She’s one of the few Pokemon Arthur allows to directly help him with fossil work. Her battle style is quite unique, defensive in its pattern, a style that was built in the 17 years she has been with Arthur.

Polaris was Arthur’s 2nd Pokemon, found literally a day after Mandragora and Arthur began their journey. It was a long fight, mainly because Arthur didn’t really know how to fight and Mandragora was extremely defensive, but they eventually won. The Water-Type travelled with Arthur for 17 years, only a day less than Mandragora, and evolved some way through, defending Arthur from a rampaging Hydregion.
The Mysterious Pokemon certainly lives up to its title, the intricate workings of its mind not seeming understandable by anyone – not the Professor, his other Pokemon, or another. Polaris hangs around the water-filled pools and pods in the laboratory’s research area, but the star-shaped being seems to do it just because it can, and not for any reason in specific. Arthur, while knowing Polaris for 17 years, still finds it difficult to decipher its emotions, as the lack of facial expressions can make it difficult to see if it’s being affectionate or otherwise. Polaris looooves to fly using Rapid Spin, and will rarely move in any other method. Polaris rarely battles. On a side note, it’s “Hyah” from when it was a Staryu is now a softer “Hyoh.”

Nautilus was the first Pokemon Arthur ever revived from a Fossil, his life’s goal complete of successfully obtaining an Omanyte after the incident in Fossil Cave. He treated the newly-revived Fossil with adoration. Nautilus has been with Arthur for quite some time. He evolved during his travels.
If Mandragora is the mother of Symphonia Labs, Nautilus is the father, the stern disciplinator and law-keeper of the laboratory grounds. It is he who makes sure that all other Pokemon keep the place clean and pristine, safe and secure, since that is the agreement between them and the Professor. He despises Morgana, since no one except Mandragora can ever keep her in line. He always seems serious, but he’s actually quite jolly when he’s not whipping people into doing their chores, and likes to spend time swimming and stretching out his tentacles. As expected, he’s quite good friends with Osiris. He thinks somewhat defensively in battle, but less defensive than Mandragora, opting for causing havoc and hazards on the opponent.

Osiris has been with Arthur for 15 years, captured by accident in a trip back to Pewter. The sleepy Abra ended up in the Poke Ball, and both parties agreed that he’d enjoy himself more with Arthur. He evolved once after finally mastering his teleporting skill by taking Arthur and Mimoza to the Fossil Cave, and once again after saving Arthur and Mimoza from drowning. Arthur was extremely shocked to hear Osiris speak into his mind, but it was like hearing an old friend for the first time.
What can one expect from an Alakazam but wisdom and knowledge? The normally silent Pokemon is quite independent, allowed by the Professor to do as he pleases most of the time, since the Psi Pokemon will often just teleport to his side when called. Thirsty for knowledge and learning, the Psi Pokemon is often studying Arthur's vast library of tomes and volumes, learning as much as it can, and becoming the librarian of the laboratory. While silent and almost distant, it is quite polite and willing to lend a hand, even if his long mustache makes him look weird. A master of the psychic arts, he is able to telepathically communicate with humans, as well as do much more. In battle, he is an incredible psychic force, and while he lacks in the physical field, it is rare to find someone as apt in ranged battle than Osiris.

Morgana used to be a Pokemon of the Safari Zone, until Arthur found her about 14 years ago. She was pranking him even then, but his calm and collected response to her existence intrigued her, which made her chase him down, pranking him further and further, until he just invited her to live with him so she can at least prank him on a more long-term basis. She accepted without a second doubt.
Morgana is a prankster, there's no way around it. Her whole life’s purpose is to go around and making the life of others just a tad bit more difficult simply for her own amusement, and amuse her it does. In fact, the main reason why she ever chose to become Arthur's Pokemon is because Arthur reacts so differently from the rest of the world to her pranking. However, when one can get past all the pranking, and if one manages to crack the hard rocky exterior, one finds a wise and intelligent Pokemon, and a Pokemon who hates being alone so much she would prank others to get their attention. Crazy Aunt Morgana rules her area of the lab with mad cackling, and while she seems intimidating, she’s actually really sweet. No one can make her behave except for Arthur or Mandragora, which causes issues. She will eat your soul if you so dare threaten Arthur or Mandragora, and even those boring idiots Osiris and Nautilus. Most people would not want to battle Morgana - she has the tendency to let go of all her pent up emotions in battle, and can be very fierce.

Jupiter is the youngest of Arthur’s main group of Pokemon, only being with him for about 12 years. Nonetheless, the Dragon Pokemon was caught on another Safari expedition that the League paid for, after Arthur befriended the Pokemon. The Dratini had no parents, having lost them in a boulder-related accident, which made Arthur relate and take in the Dragon-Type. He evolved after winning Arthur an arduous battle against an Electric-Type specialist, and again only about 2 years ago. He’s taken to his new body really well, however.
Jupiter used to be shy. No more. The Dragon Pokemon is perhaps the most social out of all of Arthur’s Pokemon, taking meeting others in stride, and normally being the first Pokemon they see when they enter the grounds of Symphonia Labs. He’s also Arthur’s best transportation method, and gladly flies the Professor where he needs to go. He devotes himself to helping others on the grounds, but stays away from the research – he has found that he has a knack for accidentally messing up experiments. While he is quite mellow and tries to avoid fighting, it is impossible to ignore his strength as a Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon. He’s the token dork of the party.

Mercutio was obtained via a kind donor, who desired to increase Arthur’s Fossil collection. Arthur was fascinated by the Pokemon’s strange Ability, and gladly took the offer, giving the Pokemon a new home. Mercutio didn’t really mind, since he just made more Fossil acquaintances.
He’s quite polite, this one, taking a partnership up with Bastion. He’s quite moderate, and doesn’t seem to bother anyone, keeping to swimming and generally just hanging out. But he also has a battler’s spirit, and if anyone knows this, it’s Bastion, who doesn’t ever seem to stop being challenged by Mercutio. The Shellfish Pokemon is quite avid, and knows that evolution will unlock so much potential. While Arthur doesn’t know this, Mercutio is a dirty, dirty punner, and his repertoire normally extends to battle jests too, to everyone but Bastion’s concern. No one seems to understand how Bastion stands the guy, but they’re best friends.

Icthyos was given to Arthur by an up-and-coming researcher of another field, as both a present and a way to try to get the already-established Professor to like him. It almost worked, until the guy made his plan to take advantage of the Professor’s position too obvious. He kept Icthyos, naming him after an ancient language’s word for fish.
Icthyos isn’t very attention-seeking. On contraire, the Pokemon normally doesn’t bother anyone, sticking to his little pool and staying there. An avid eater, he enjoys consuming as much food as Arthur is willing to give him. The Professor and the Relicanth share a very respectful relationship, but that’s about it. However, Icthyos seems a little flattered that Arthur would spend so much time and effort in taking care of him. Icthyos does not like being asked about his age, and will likely smash you in the face if you ask. Don’t.

Bastion was a Pokemon given to the Professor, like most of his Fossils were. The little guy seemed very unperturbed about his new home, family, and otherwise seemed uncaring, as he took to eating some berries out of the Berry Garden almost immediately.
Bastion is unmovable. If there is one being in this world that bears a resemblance to the word “unyielding,” it’s Bastion. He’s actually quite mellow and relaxed, mostly taking his time with actions and rarely doing something he’s not interested in doing, spending most of his time sleeping or eating or otherwise just relaxing. However, when he wants something, be it to beat someone or to get something, nothing on this world or the next will stand in his way, and if it does, it will swiftly be knocked down. He’s quite good friends with Mercutio, even though no one understands how this extremely stoic and relaxed Pokemon can be friends with the hyperactive punner. In battle, there is no one more defensive than Bastion.

Hermes was a Zubat obtained from a friendly Breeder, one that Arthur had specifically requested due to a special Egg Move that he needed. He named him after an ancient God of Speed and agility, since the Bat Pokemon was born moving and zooming around.
The Zubat doesn't really understand why. It knows it’s not that rare of a species, and it knows it’s not that strong, but the Professor seems really partial towards it. Mandragora seems to say that the Professor had wanted a Zubat for a really long time, but,as he was born in Nue, the Zubat doesn't understand. Arthur wanted the Zubat because he reminds him of his home, Pewter City, and thus pampers the little Posion-Type. Hermes is quite well-behaved, and is mostly active at night, as one would expect.

Frederick was caught in a swarm of Grimers that infested the Cerulean area. As a Professor, Arthur was called in to help the general populace. Luckily, the Professor already wanted a Grimer, so it was mutually beneficial. He evolved long before the move to Nue, defending the lab from some wild Spearows.
Frederick is well-behaved for a Muk - this doesn't seem to have changed in evoltuin - and doesn't try to destroy all civilization in his path. He, in fact,is a bit ashamed of his species' lack of concern for the welfare of those around them, and tries his best to help out, and to prevent any damage that he could accidentally do to others with his sludge. He keeps to himself in the laboratory, being nice in conversation but preventing prolonged conversations, in case his sludge does something it shouldn't. This is even more the case than before, due to the fact that, before evolution, he was less toxic than he is now, something you sometimes find him complaining about in the labs. Ironically, in battle, he understands his objective, and really could care less - he'll poison the opponent as much as he needs to in order to win.

Archimedes was obtained from Elizabeth, not the only Egg that the Interpol Agent had given the Professor. He disliked that she was still trying to pay him back for giving her some Pokemon early in her career, but he really desired a HootHoot, so he gladly raised the Egg. He evolved during the move to Nue, after some training with Jupiter.
Archimedes thinks himself a mystic of sorts, always confusingly glancing and peeking over things,attempting to use psychic powers to work everything. His stare is indecipherable, and few can guess what he's thinking. Even with all of that, however, he remains a HootHoot, and loves to peck at the Berry garden, as well as hop around. Archimedes loves to hang out with Pokemonlike Osiris or Morgana, trying to amplify his mysticism. While he seems distantin his attempts to seem wiser than he is, he’s quite affectionate.

So, some time ago, Mimoza wanted a Tiki bar, because she felt that the lab could do with something entertaining in it for a change, and while Arthur found it somewhat ridiculous, he agreed to build one. Luckily, he had just caught Igneous in a mountain expedition. He evolved while training against Notus. Having won, the Fire-Type unlocked evolution.
Igneous was named the Master of the Tiki Bar, and he takes his task with very little seriousness, as the whole concept seems more of a joke to please Mimoza than anything else. Still, he enjoys the fire and the hot temperatures. Slow and steady, he is a friend of the other more relaxed lab residents, like Bastion or Icthyos. He's very dutiful, and tends to his chores with efficacy, even if he thinks them unimportant. He's happy to help the Professor with his studies, which seem to be of interest to the Fire-Type.

Eyes keener than those of a stingy old woman, Pierce, nicknamed after that one... lady, is very keen on keeping things as they should be. She often hides in the shadows of Symphonia Labs, keeping an eye on all visitors, and murmuring to Morgana on how they better behave themselves or they'll find themselves at the edge of her claws. She has a no-nonsense attitude, and really Morgana and she only get along because they're both like old women and they share a typing.

Variable was obtained in a catching expedition, more of an accident than anything. He did help in the process of training Morgana, which he understands, he wishes she hadn't been so harsh. He was quickly made at home in the Laboratory, which he enjoys.
Like his name implies, Variable is an ever-changing subject. His mood changes almost as much as his color, and often it drives others in the Laboratory to more... mentally ragged states. He can go from very happy to very sad easily, or from serious to playful in a flash. However, the core basics of his personality don't change, and he's always willing to listen to Arthur and to lend a hand to his friends. You'll never see Variable coming in battle - he'll do everything in his power to confuse you.

One of Arthur’s older Pokemon, it has been with the Professor for about 10 years. The Magnezone was caught as a Magnemite, who quickly evolved via continuous training from Arthur. It evolved again in an arduous and unexpected battle in a magnetized cave, when Arthur was trying to protect Mimoza. Again.
A bit of a silent explorer, Magnetrix explores and studies most everything it hasn’t come across before, using its three eyes to focus and understand on what it’s seeing. It seems that its goal is to understand as much as it can, and it enjoys being with the Professor, as his search for knowledge helps Magnetrix, and Magnetrix’s skills help the professor. While its voice is mostly robotic, and seemingly lacking in emotion, it does indeed have emotions, which can be demonstrated every so often. It has a deep bond with Norton, as they were both captured around the same time, and both seem to have similar interests. In battle, it follows orders to the letter, and its electrical power is incredible.

Norton is another of Arthur’s old Pokemon, about a decade with the Professor.

It evolved again in a battle against an angry Snorlax, where it could have had help, but the Pokemon chose to fight alone.
The computer master of Symphonia Labs's computer works, one rarely sees Norton, as the Virtual Pokemon spends most, if not all its time inside the circuits and systems of the machines of the lab, helping the Professor run everything smoothly. While he's incredibly efficient and knowledgeable in the job, emotionally, it can be quite erratic, and even problematic when it comes to its behaviors. The bug that the Dubious Disk seems to have brought has affected Norton, but in the end, the Pokemon still is devoted to Arthur, and enjoys his company. Extremely good friends with Magnetrix, the two are often talking to each other when Norton isn't stuck in the virtual world.

Arthur, who had a bit of attachment to the species due to a certain friend of his youth, quickly took Ferrius home to the lab, where both settled in quite nicely.
Ferrius, while not necessarily the Pokemon most first interact with, is normally the first Pokemon most see when they arrive to Symphonia Labs. He stands on the roof, silent, sentinel, staring off into the distance, his noses every so often floating around, as if he was repositioning himself. He’s, as expected, facing north. Arthur doesn’t mind his antics, since he’s quite polite, and has dedicated himself to be a sort of guardsman of the labs, due to his near-permanent position. When the Compass Pokemon wants to move, it just floats itself magnetically and goes around. He has a good rapport with most of Arthur’s Pokemon, like Norton, Magnetrix, or Osiris. In battle, he’s a controller, attempting to use his magnetic power to work the situation to his benefit.

Named after one of the Professor's old friends, the Rotom might be genderless, but it's very female in personality. A giant prankster, it loves to go into the electronics all over the labs and figure them out, pranking anyone in his way as he does so, a habit that is being steeled out and stomped out by the Professor and his Pokemon. Still, it's innocent games and stuff, and Arthur still thinks of the Pokemon fondly. Great friends with Morgana and Pierce, Valda has a habit of being very hyper, tiring herself out very quickly. In battle, this doesn't change, going for giant things, but getting tired often.

A shy little one, Quartz was given to Arthur by a donor who felt that the Professor would like to investigate why the Jewel Pokemon knew Ancient Power, a move mostly associated with species from the ancient past. They were right. Arthur loved the donation, but felt sad that the Pokemon felt so out of place.
Very rarely does Quartz participate in any studies or such. The poor Pokemon has spent very little time with Arthur, and as such feels like stranger in the laboratory grounds. Arthur understands, and does his best to accommodate the Jewel Pokemon, which the Fairy-Type appreciates. Still, Quartz has not gotten used to Morgana's antics and such, and will often be found hiding in fear, outside of the lab, in some niche. Quartz is trying to work hard to strengthen its confidence and power, so it can at least live happily with the Professor - Quartz thinks that it would like that.
