Personality: When Ingo and Emmet stand side by side, it's hard to imagine more opposite personalities. Emmet is a very high energy kind of guy, with a lot of passion and fervor for the things he enjoys. So much fervor, in fact, that when he gets a little too enthusiastic (say, when he's taking challenges on the Battle Subway), he starts to forgo any attention to sentence structure, making his introductions to challengers a little startlingly nonsensical. It contrasts quite starkly with Ingo's collected and calm demeanor, and for challengers on the multi train, Emmet almost seems entirely incapable of normal conversation.
Fortunately, not everything gets Emmet as mind-numbingly excited as the Battle Subway or trains in general. Outside of work, he's very friendly and isn't overwhelming (most of the time), able to span out and network a bit. He takes care of the more outgoing jobs involving the Subway, including media interviews or advertisements. He's not malicious at all, even if extremely competitive in a Pokémon battle, and he loves to be around people and to make friends. Like Ingo, he loves it when challengers are strong enough to defeat him, and he always encourages those who fail to work hard and try again. Though he seems a bit chaotic at times, he's actually very structured in his thinking, able to battle very dynamically and able to analyze what's going on in double battle. His span of focus is broader than Ingo's, and his knowledge and understanding of both the Battle Subway and of Pokémon make him an extremely formidable opponent and demonstrate his mastery of battle tactics.
Emmet has a bright optimism that Ingo doesn't, seeing the glass as half full instead of half empty (and you can always fill the glass up again anyways!), which makes for a healthy balance when he's with Ingo. His optimism is infectious, and Ingo's responsible demeanor keeps Emmet grounded to earth - for this reason and many more, Emmet's tied at the hip to his twin brother. He's not entirely opposite of his brother, however, and shares many similar traits. He's extremely responsible and mature, able to manage the business of the Battle Subway with Ingo, and he's remarkably intelligent as proven by his battling skills. He has the composure to handle any crisis that comes his way (just not the composure to handle his own nerdy excitement), and when he calms down and focuses on a battle, he's surprisingly ferocious. Because of all of those years living with Ingo, Emmet learned to be responsible for himself and for everyone and everything around him, which applies to his Pokémon which are very well raised and cared for. Even with his tendency to rush headlong into confrontation and challenge, and take suitable risks for the excitement of things like the Battle Subway, he is entirely aware of the dangers and always takes the necessary precautions. After all, if someone is truly hurt, then it isn't fun anymore.
Emmet likes to think in double. Double the Pokémon, double the trainers, and of course, double the Subway Masters. It's not just a matter of his broader area of focus, it's a theme that Emmet immerses himself in, that is also partially stemmed from his relationship with Ingo. Emmet has a degree of emotional dependence on Ingo. It's not so severe as to be a crippling social disorder, but it is certain enough that it is very unlikely that Emmet would pursue romance on his own or move out without him, lest he leave his brother all by himself.
Even though he much prefers to be around Ingo and is more comfortable, Emmet is a risk taker and often pushes boundaries in all he does. His co-dependance on Ingo does not at all stem from any innate self esteem issues, or shortfalls of his own nature. He is extremely confident and extremely aware of his situation and his surroundings, and he unabashedly meets life headlong in a bold challenge. He enjoys Ingo not for security, but for company, making the co-dependance a derivative of loneliness. Ingo has been in his life the whole time, so being without his brother leaves Emmet lonely and upset, but entirely able to function as a human being, unlike severe cases of co-dependance. But there is a rather powerful effect on Emmet's overall demeanor when Ingo is absent, which does not occur when any of Emmet's other very close friends (Elesa, for example) are off doing their own thing. Emmet will undoubtedly become concerned, quiet, and even worried, resembling Ingo even more in behavior and demeanor. But, with Ingo nearby, safe, and sound, Emmet is perfectly optimistic in most, if not all, situations.
Strengths: ➲ Bold: There's a degree of bravery and stupidity both to setting up a battling system on a moving vehicle like a subway train. There are no signs of anxiety in either brother, showing a complete confidence in their situation. ➲ Intelligent: Emmet is extremely capable in battle, providing a very difficult challenge for those who make it far enough into the Double or Multi lines to face him. ➲ Graceful Loser: When he loses, he does not react poorly. Rather, he is incredibly pleased that someone has surpassed his challenge, and he loves to see people who've gotten so strong. There's no harm to his ego at all when he does lose. ➲ A Pokémon Trainer: And all that that implies. He's responsible for other living creatures (Pokémon), knows good sportsmanship, has incredibly developed tactical abilities, is a diligent and persistent worker - all of the traits that are common amongst most seasoned trainers. ➲ Motivator: Emmet is a good motivator for others, earnestly encouraging them to try again if they fail. It has more impact than it does from Ingo, who's constantly frowning. ➲ Tall: Extraordinarily tall, soooo tall. It's not an advantage in most situations, but if he does get into fisticuffs, he has the height advantage at the very least. ➲ High Stamina/Resolve: He's available seemingly all the time in the Battle Subway. It shows his devotion, but also the physical dedication, able to handle long work hours and still be chipper. ➲ Lackadaisical: Aside from bursts of energy and excitement, he is a very relaxed person, able to go with the flow if he's not the one charging forward.
Weaknesses: ➲ Excitable: That deep-seated passion for trains and double-battling? That usually gets him to the point of not even being able to string together full sentences, making him sound like a crazy person sometimes. ➲ Obsessive: But only over two things - the Battle Subway, and Ingo. Still, these things drive Emmet, and like any obsession, hinder some social interactions if the subject arises. ➲ Impatient: ...at times. This goes hand-in-hand with the previous flaws; when the situation accumulates the things he's passionate about, and he gets carried away, he becomes fairly unable to think of anything else. He has to reach the end of the line before he can disembark, and even simple communication can be a hinderance as he excitedly tries to get right into a battle. ➲ Mild social unawareness: He is better than Ingo by far about getting involved with other people, but that doesn't exactly mean he's better at social interaction itself. He can be overwhelming and confusing, particularly when he gets too into what he's talking about (trains, usually). ➲ Lanky: He's tall, sure, but he's also a little scrawny. He has a height advantage in case of fisticuffs, but he has pretty much nothing else working for him. ➲ Co-Dependence: Described in the personality section in greater detail. ➲ Sheltered: ...To a degree. He spends a majority of his time working in the subway, not because the job demands it but because he loves it. He's ocassionally out of touch with the outside world because of it, and it's a little extra effort to think outside of TRAINS TRAINS TRAINS. He can do it, but it is difficult.
