Doctor Mixer

## History

Mixer was born in Violet City in the Johto region. Born, Haruki Fujio, he was raised amongst the monks of Sprout Tower, being exposed to their teachings at a young age.

Although those teachings were primarily focused on the growth and flexibility that Bellsprout represented to the monks, young Fujio was instead fascinated with the other side of the Bellsprout line, it's poisons and caustic acids that the walking plant and it's evolved forms used to hunt bug-type Pokémon. The end of the cycle of life, death and decay, intrigued him and drew him away from the monks and their way of life.

As he grew older, he began researching other poison-type Pokémon, and decided to dedicate his life to becoming a Pokémon Professor, like Elm of New Bark Town and the regularly visiting Oak. During his period of research, he selected the name 'Sumac' to be his professor name. Until he was ready to apply, he started by focusing on making the research and study of poison-type Pokémon safe, which required building an immunity to the poisons he would be exposed to.

To this end, he began dosing himself with small amounts of various Pokémon derived poisons and toxins until he no longer felt any effect from them, then he would raise the dosage and continue the process, until he was immune to all but the most potent poisons. During this time, he also experimented on himself, transfusing his blood with that of poison-types. Over time, this process caused his body to adjust itself, causing him to be able to naturally produce poison, as well as giving him an odd affinity with all poison-types.

Accomplishing major breakthroughs in Pokémon science, in his mind at least, he applied to become a true Pokémon Professor. But when the League learned of his methods and experiments, they denied him and barred him from applying again.

Spurned by those he sought to join, he instead took on the name Doctor Mixer, and, using info learned from disbanded Rocket members, left for a mysterious region recently discovered, where it was said any and all Pokémon could be found. He swore that he would learn all he could and would become a true Professor, even if he had to do so by force.

## Appearance

If not for his hair and style of dress, Doctor Mixer would not stand out in any group of Academics in the world. Being tall and rather thin, with pale skin that doesn't seem to tan, and his thick glasses, he looks all the world like many of his colleagues. But his preference for vibrant purple lab-coats and standout red ties, as well as his seemingly unfading violet hair, which he keeps slicked neatly back, makes him stand out in almost any group.

He has a piercing, dark gaze that tends to stare through people when conversing with them.

## Personality

Doctor Mixer tends to keep to himself, not involving himself with whatever others around him are doing. He is always working towards some goal, and focuses on that. Though seemingly cold and unapproachable, he is willing to freely share most of his accrued knowledge on request, and has a somewhat manipulative way of interacting with people and Pokémon if they gain his interest.

## Ace Pokémon and Team

Mixer arrived with and is in almost constant proximity of his Croagunk, Maxine.

### Assistant Maxine (Croagunk)

The Pokémon Doctor Mixer brought with him from the mainland, Maxine has accompanied Mixer since he began his Professor journey, being the first poison-type that he acquired. Starting as merely a research subject, Maxine's stoic demeanor and willingness to assist the Doctor earned her a permanent position at his side as his trusted assistant.

Maxine is interested in meeting new Pokémon, but tends to not have the time to form long bonds with others due to Mixer's isolationist nature and tendency to release other Pokémon after gathering whatever samples or research he needs from them.

## Accomplishments

* Managed to escape persecution and capture by the Pokémon League of the mainland and make his way to Kairos.

## Associates

Mixer, upon the day of his arrival, encountered two prominent individuals, whom he agreed to accompany in order to better conduct his research in peace.

### Metron-O

The first inhabitant to approach Mixer in any capacity other than a purely business transaction. Mixer considers him both likely to be useful, as well as eccentric to an almost exhaustive degree.

### Arkey Swii

A sarcastic researcher that was accompanying Metron-O during his first meeting with Mixer. Mixer considers her to be something of a colleague, and likely to be useful in his pursuits.

## Goals

Doctor Mixer has two goals, currently.

* To learn more about the large variety of poison-type Pokémon found here in Kairos.
* To force the Pokémon League(s) to accept him as a true Pokémon Professor.
