Al is short, but durable. He stands at about 5'4" and has some slight muscle definition, not muscular, but not slim either. His skin tone is light, but he has a tan from constantly being outside. He has bluish-green eyes, and he has messy dark brown hair that he usually keeps at around neck length. He has a few scars on his back from scratches and burns, but those are mostly kept hidden behind his shirt.
He wears durable clothing, almost all which show signs of wear. He is usually wearing jeans, a shirt of some kind, a pair of sneakers, and a brown leather jacket. He tends to carry a satchel in which he carries important items such as food, his pokeballs(which he has few of), a flashlight, etc.

Al tends to dislike other people in general. Having lived most of his life mostly with other pokemon, he's seen some of the terrible things people have done in search of power at a very young age. This has left Al distrustful of other humans, and he prefers interacting with pokemon. He is often quiet and reserved around other humans,but around other pokemon he can be caring, compassionate, and protective. He treats his pokemon as if he was an older brother figure rather than an owner of a pet, and shows a genuine hatred for those who don't treat pokemon with the respect they deserve.

Al doesn't know who his parents are, but that doesn't bother him. He grew up in an orphanage at the edge of a forest, where the kids would play. Al was a quiet person in general, and typically played by himself. Thus, nobody noticed until nightfall when one day Al didn't come back. A search party was conducted, fearing the worst had occurred to the small child, him only being 7 years old at the time. However, two days later Al was finally found, in a surprisingly good condition, playing in a clearing with an Aipom and Ambipom. Al was returned to the orphanage, but the next day, Al went missing again, only to be found again in the same place, playing with the same pokemon. This went on for some time, until the owner of the orphanage finally gave in and let Al wander as he pleased, since he seemed to be able to handle himself. Al would from then on live primarily in the forest, going to the orphanage from time to time to check in and maybe get some food if there was little to be found in the forest. However, one day after Al had turned 11, he returned to the orphanage with the Aipom, scratches and burns covering both of their bodies. He explained that a bad man had taken the Ambipom, and when him and the Aipom, Nyx, had tried to stop him, the man sicced a pokemon on the both of them. Again, a party was sent to find this person for assaulting a child, but they found nobody. After that, nobody was allowed to enter the forest. Even after that traumatizing experience however, Al still yearned to be in the forest. When he turned sixteen, he decided to leave the orphanage for good, and began to live in the forest again, doing odd jobs every once in awhile to get money.

He always keeps his pokemon outside of their pokeballs. His pokemon's pokeballs are just to prevent others from trying to catch his pokemon. He will sometimes outright greet a pokemon before greeting another human being. He prefers sleeping on soft grass or dirt than on a bed. He doesn't try to catch other pokemon to bring with him. If a pokemon wants to accompany him, he will gladly let them, but he won't forcefully take a pokemon from their home.

Nyx is an energetic and playful pokemon, he spends a lot of time pulling small pranks and getting into trouble. While he may not act it, he is unnaturally analytic and smart about approaching combat, choosing carefully when to strike, avoid, and hide. This extends to his shenanigans, leaving his victims rather confused when a shiny object in their possession disappears, only for it to reappear an hour or so later. While these small annoyances may seem rude or outright malicious at times, Nyx is merely doing it for fun, and never has any evil intent behind it. He gets sad if someone is hurt by one of his pranks, and he will often try to make it up to them in various ways. Like Al, Nyx is a little standoffish about humans, but not to the same degree as Al is. He just generally try to avoid direct conflict with humans besides Al, but will not act rude or hostile if approached by someone friendly.
