I'm going to have to stop you right here. Dynamaxing can only be performed in specific spots within the Galar Region. Your setting is not the Galar region nor is it a Power Spot where dynamaxing can be performed. So there will be no dynamaxing shenanigans in THIS RP. Please review our RP forum rules. Also, please do not double post unless you have a very good reason. Posts merged.
Once again, double posting. Posts merged. There is no reason to post your character bio in a separate post from the first post if no one else posted in the meantime!

You didn’t actually say we couldn’t have Pokémon that weren’t exactly our types, Empoleon fits the icy theme regardless. Besides it’s not unheard of for gym leaders to have a Pokémon who fits their theme but not their typing Sabrina and Volkner both come to mind.

Name: Colin Drake Sex: Male Age: 17 Appearance: Due to his training with Dragon-type Pokémon throughout his entire life, Colin's body has been sculpted into the brawny, strapping equivalence of an Olympic athlete. His muscles have adapted to be able to withstand Dragon-type moves from Pokémon with high stats, and his skin is chestnut colored. Colin is not particularly attractive, with a rugged face and tousled black hair, often pushed aside with pomade, that hardly offsets his thick, unkept stubble. Despite the compliments he receives on his blue-green eyes, he is certainly no Prince Charming. Colin keeps his apparel rather modest in order to be prepared for athletic activity at any time. He normally wears a white v-neck tee shirt and a pair of dark gray fleece training pants with cuffed ankles. He tops off the look with a pair of white tennis sneakers and a hand-me-down denim jacket that is worn and slightly tattered. Typing: Dragon (Specifically, he is training Pokémon that will become Dragon-type once they evolve.)
