Does your character have any main story arcs? If so how many!? Can you give a brief summary of them?

I've got a few of them. I'm going to make a doc to summarize the journey Renahv took to become champion.

Grim has about 4!! His origin arc in Sinnoh, follows his story from when he was a kid. His evil arc which goes from his time in Unova to when he eventually would lose his wicked winning streak. His redemption arc is next which is where his main design is borrowed from and is probably his most lengthy arc since it also shows him becoming a better person! And finally his end story which is just like an epilogue of his story and a time skip to him being a family man!

I don't have them completely thought out but for Jasmine i have:

  1. Her Younger Years when she was Hospitalized.

  2. When she Becomes a gyme leader and gains free entrance and exit to the Mirage Forest

  3. Deep Expeditions to the Mirage Fores in the search of her brother and the Origin of the forest

Maybe some small arcs betwen those with some fluff and stuff but thoes are the ones i thought about

OKI SO For my Boy Cecil we got

Trauma Backstory Arc - Lasts until he's 10
Gym Leader Villain Arc - Lasts until he's 21 when he almost dies in a bike crash
World Travelling Arc - Aka Redemption Arc/The time period where I could justify most cross OC interactions with other folks
Voltergeist Arc - When he meets Blitzy and begins his recovery of his mental health and self esteem
Endgame Arc - The one time I'll let Cecil be a true shonen anime boy and collects some W's for once (None of this has been drawn yet)

Oooo I've never actually thought about giving characters a bunch of arcs before. Might have to work on that 👀

Slick is the first to come to mind in terms of story arcs tbh. With his early childhood and joining Team Rocket, to his fall from the organisation and stuff. might have to expand on that 👀

For Fausto I have 3 with two of them having names!

Emperor Arc - where he returns back to his region in order to get revenge on everyone who has done him wrong!

Bloodline Arc - where he goes missing for a while only to return as a masked vilgilante, he’s still looking for revenge in this arc but is more highly aggressive.

The final arc is him as a bit of a matured adult who is now apart of the Battle Frontier and runs a small private investigation agency!

Tyler usually has a few per region tbh just like Ash Ketchum, so it'll be hard to explain each one-

But the latest story arc he's dealing with is basically him searching for Ho-Oh feathers all across Johto and some other regions to resurrect Ho-Oh and stop Team Abyss from summoning Giratina. So basically Pokemon Heartgold 2: Electric Boogaloo-

Wily has 4-ish?- Escaping the institute, slowly becoming more paranoid until he ends up at his lowest point, traveling the world and becoming well again, then the big "endgame" situation.
