So, Nate didn't work out, but I still want to give this game a spin. And the character I'm looking at is this fellow.

Character Name: Ghetsis Canon Name: ... Ghetsis Brief History: He's the main villain of the Black/White games and the head of Team Plasma. Guy secretly wants to be the only person who controls Pokemon and to rule the Unova region, while manipulating his adoptive son N to that end. Implied to have been injured by Pokemon in the past, leaving him scarred on one side of his body.
AU Ideas: My idea is that Ghetsis is a nobleman and last surviving member of a once prolific family. A bitter man born crippled, he has mostly been living off the lingering resources of his family.
However, this Ghetsis is not the megalomaniac that he is in the Unova games. He's certainly not a good man, but he's not at the point where he's considering conquering the world. He'd certainly be corrupt, he'd certainly be willing to use people for his own ends, or metaphorically stab them in the back, but he's not a monster... just not a good person by any stretch of the imagination.
(I considered having him intend to form an in-game version of Plasma, but I figured that would be biting off too much).
His main goal is trying to earn prestige for himself, but through which means he's still trying to find the right opportunity.
Looking For: Ideas for any past or future CR would be excellent. For stuff that happened in the past, he's somewhat old, so chances of him knowing younger characters would be unlikely. But he's bitter and curmudgeonly, and if there's a chance he earned someone's ire through some kind of business venture or simply by being abrasive to another well off person, I'd be willing to work something out.
That being said, he has a love of fine arts, would have an interest in the culture and military history of Caldera, and I think he'd be a regular skulker at Teeter's, the theater, and Burgh Museum.
Anything else?: I intend for him to be a nobleman, but it really doesn't amount to much. His family's money is enough to live comfortably, but he doesn't have much power to go with his status.
