Takara Wilton
Full Name: Takara Wilton
Nickname(s): Tara
Age: 35
Gender: Non-binary (all pronouns are acceptable, you can call them a lady and they'd be perfectly happy, think Juno Steel vibes)
Place of Origin: Port Belleview
- - - -
Personality: Takara does not strike anyone as a ruthless CEO that runs the region's largest monopoly. In fact, Takara comes off as a very gentle, kind person. And they are. Their softness is only underscored by a strong sense of justice and the extreme patience of a rock. Takara has endured many things throughout his education and while working his way up to CEO of Salve Co. He has done things he is not proud of and learned things he was not quite sure he wanted to add to his education. Yet he has made do.

Once someone gets to know Takara a bit more, they find that his kindness and patience underscores something sinister only to those that find his rage. His quiet, articulated rage. They do not get angry easily, but when they do, it is not in the form of a storm. It's in a controlled calm that becomes careful planning followed by studying and waiting. Biding his time to figure out the best recourse. After all, it's rather hard for a generous CEO, hated by the board, to keep his job. The only way he's survived so far is by some of the voters suddenly... vanishing.

History: Takara grew up in a sheltered environment in the sense that they were never aware of how bad things were at home. Yet growing up, they had a wonderful childhood. They went to college, got two PhDs in civil engineering and environment sciences, and mastered in standard engineering. As he worked hard in college, often pulling all-nighters, he began to realize the awful world around him. The economy was in shambles, half of the regions industries owned by Salve Co. Even his parents worked for the mega corporation, pushing all their money into Takara's education while sacrificing themselves. He went back through historical records to when he was growing up, studying the economy each quarter, and discovered that his parents had given up everything to shelter him from the harsh reality of the world. What had they sacrificed for his well being? To send them to college?
It wasn't fair. And the more Takara looked? The angrier he got. A resolve formed inside of him, and his patience began to form. A careful patience. One that would one day explode in a vicious anger that would carefully and cautiously destroy what was wrong with the world. Using his knowledge, he set his sights on the top dog of the region. Salve Co.
Countless hours poured into internships, working his ass off day in and day out, and using every skill he learned from watching the sleazy one perfect, Takara nabbed the one thing that he knew could make the region better: the position of the chief executive officer. Takara Wilton became the CEO of Salve Co. The first thing he did was spend his paycheck on his parents, getting them a better home and letting them retire in comfort, never wanting anything again. The next thing? Paid internships with mandatory breaks and time off. The third? Ripping the company apart from the inside out.
But it was a delicate procedure. Salve Co. was a dangerous web and it was the spider at the center. Taking out one strand would mess up the delicate balance the region was now in. The company was the largest employer, the main source of power and clean water, plus in control of nearly the entirety of Port Belleview. No.... collapsing it had to be a very delicate, careful operation. It could take decades, but Takara would do it with surgical precision and eventually dissolve the company back into the Region. The work sure as hell isn't easy, but he can wait for it to come to fruition.
But the work stagnated. He couldn't continue with it, not without... well. When pokemon came back, it was a game changer. Finally, the missing ingredient to his work. Pokemon were what they needed to finish their work. With pokemon, people could finally end their dependence on Salve Co. but even then it would be slow progress, but better progress.... finally. Things were moving in the right direction.

Appearance Description: Takara is a light skinned person with a strong jaw. Their black hair is long and fades into a brown at the very tips. Usually, their hair is always tied up into a high ponytail. Their eyes are a bright blue. Their style changes day to day, but most people tend to see them wearing a nice suit. While this is common, it is not what Takara prefers to wear. When out and about, their fashion changes with the season. They are always on top of the latest trends. Their wardrobe is very diverse. During dinner-meetings with their company, Takara will sometimes wear their favorite dress with a lovely overcoat. There is nothing they will not wear at least once. Life is short, have fun with it! Takara does take nearly every opportunity when not working to show off their tattoos, located on their left arm, their back and down one of their legs. So their fashion when out and about can change to tank tops and sun dresses. They also have several tattoos on their arms, and a few more if someone is lucky enough to find them.
