History
Nollen Tulle is not an evil man, nor does he have any dark or tragic past of which to speak. With his father a talented psychic pokémon trainer and his mother a beautiful pokémon contest judge, the boy grew up caught between two passions. He knew he wanted to train psychic pokémon like his father, but he wanted to follow in his mother’s footsteps and become a coordinating master with them. He spent his youth studying psychic pokémon with his father, and following his mother to the contests she went to judge.
Though somewhere during those younger years, Nollen happened upon a more specific interest of his very own: the stars. Their household always had a few pets from his father’s past travels, and one of those pets was a Starmie. One night when he couldn’t sleep well, he noticed its core flickering outside to the sky above. Curious, he asked his parents and other people about it only to learn the rumors about Starmie being an alien pokémon possibly communicating with something far off in the stars beyond. It could’ve been a silly myth, but he was naïve enough to believe it at the time. From that point in his life onward, he would sit outside with the Starmie at night until his bedtime and watch the stars with it, wishing he could communicate with whatever was out there, too. He wanted to know what was out there, and that desire became a lasting obsession.
When he was old enough to begin training, his father decided to give him the Starmie he sat with every night. He named it Arrakis. Nollen did as all psychic trainers and attempted to establish a psychic bond. He was nervous at first, of course, and the beginning of their connection was an odd one. It was timid, as both he and his new pokémon knew that he only wanted to use her in order to find out what secrets the stars held. However, over time they grew closer and he pampered the Starmie ceaselessly. Had Arrakis any other sort of personality, it probably would have turned out to be a very spoiled creature.
Unfortunately, even then Nollen wasn’t finding the answers he was looking for. The nightly signals being sent out by the Starmie were something he could vaguely interpret, but there was no response communicated. He was never able to hear anything that his Starmie might have been receiving in return. It was like listening to a nightly trance of the creature calling out into a void for nothing. He studied the phenomenon with his own Starmie and others he came across during some travel, but decided to set the project aside after two years. He went into a temporary slump and retreated back to simply stargazing with Arrakis.
At age twelve, he decided to turn his attentions back to being a pokémon coordinator like his mother. This went well. Since he and his pokémon were already a wonderful team with a strong psychic bond, they succeeded in winning several ribbons under the category of Beauty. Nollen bragged, of course, and let the more flamboyant side of his personality shine. He charmed plenty of his peers and made a lot of friends. However, there would always be that constant sense of unfulfilled curiosity nagging at him. He knew he needed to focus on pursuing the knowledge he wanted again before he would be truly happy with what he was doing. He just needed a different angle, access to different resources, and perhaps another set of eyes. That’s when he made a decision very few condoned: join Team Galactic.
Nollen turned to Team Galactic at age fifteen, because they offered him the chance to pursue his original studies on a more in depth level. They had investments in space study and he was ready to shamelessly give up any reputation of his own for the sake of taking advantage of their resources. He wasn’t what one would call a hard worker, but he proved himself to be a talented and exploratory researcher with a lot of potential. He was taken in by the science department and used his psychic abilities to study different forms of signals that pokémon used to communicate. He placed them into the categories of physical, spiritual, and radio. His breakthroughs didn’t lead to exactly what he wanted, but it did lead him through a few promotions and the revelation that Arrakis’s signals were radio in nature.
The day he was offered an Admin position in the science department came as a shock to him. At twenty, he was competent with his studies and had used some of the work to benefit the Team. However, he had always thought his apathy towards the Team’s ultimate goals were obvious. Confused, but grateful for the increase in budget, Nollen didn’t complain. It gave him more freedom. He was given an inch and he literally took miles. He was given the codename Neptune and he assigned himself a research project he entitled The Pool. He used his broadened resources to collect whatever Staryu or Starmie he could and then he didn’t report back to his superiors for weeks. For six months, he had released all the gathered pokémon in one large body of water and did nothing but sit awake taking notes every night.
Neptune was eventually considered AWOL, and he was tracked down by one of his peers only to be dragged back to the Leader with research that was decidedly useless at the time. He was demoted to Elite status and the project was indefinitely suspended.
For the next five years, Neptune would find himself stuck on less fulfilling assignments. He used his research to psychically translate radio signals, making himself a useful tool against other teams in terms of picking up and decrypting transmissions being sent out among the other teams in the Kanto region. Otherwise, he hasn’t bothered putting forth any more effort than what has been requested of him by his seniors.
His subordinates consider him a mystic, and a mysterious Elite scientist who rarely shows himself on the field. His seniors know him by that lazy heap Neptune, a waste of potential likely to be demoted again within the next six months if he doesn’t do something more productive with himself.
