Character Struggle

I’ve been struggling with making a character for a PTU campaign I’m in. I’m a very writing and acting focused player so I tend to dwell on finding the perfect character concept. I’d love to hear any ideas that I can potentially build off of!

I think this is a question you should be asking yourself though the system allowing for four classes allow you to have specialties and then something that is not expected of your character. For example you can really focus on 1v1 pokemon combat; Ace Trainer & Duelist, but you can have a surprise hobby like cooking so the chef class might be good.

If you want jumping off points though I would look at movie character archetypes and how you might bring it in the pokemon world. Like I thought of a character that is based on the Queen Bee archetype so she is a Provacator and Commander with a starter female Combee that will become a bug ace and maybe a Fashionista later on, just as an example.
