Kare (Kare (PMD: New Skies))

Kare is a skilled and experienced explorer, meaning his many skills include combat, search and rescue, frontier discovery, and criminal apprehension. While he has worked independantly in the past, he now aligns himself with the Wigglytuff Guild, an allyship both benefit from. Thus he lives on the cliffs outside of Treasure Town. There, he acts as a librarian and writer - both organizing works and writing them. Rather than being a lower worker though, he is considered almost on an equal level as the leaders of the Guild, and is free to come and go, and otherwise do as he pleases.

While he is certainly strong enough to be a solo explorer - and indeed sometimes travels on his own - Kare is part of the two-pokemon Team Ironclaw. A powerful and passionate duo, he and Wyatt are able to take down anyone. Both having an intolerance for any pokemon that picks on the weak or seeks to hurt the innocent, they’ve made it their mission to fight for those who can’t. Team Ironclaw is independent of any organization but often works with the Guild and their resources, especially the criminal database.

Kare often helps with young recruits and serves as a role model to explorers. He enjoys seeing pokemon come into themselves, gaining confidence and meaning. So too does he love meeting people abroad, and has friends all over the continent and beyond. It’s hard not to like Kare, with his friendly disposition and inclination to help and encourage others. That being said though, he can be awkward at times, especially when he gets wrapped up in his readings or work. He’s never mean spirited though, and he’s generally pretty tolerant of others unless they really push him. The one thing he’s somewhat touchy about is the bandana on his leg: it serves as a team signifier, but it also clearly has deeper meaning to him. He never takes it off unless in private or with Wyatt.
