[b]Name:[/b] Ethros Arcio
[b]Age:[/b]20
[b]Sex:[/b] Male 
[b]Place of birth:[/b] Viridian City 
[b]Height:[/b] 6'0"
[b]Description:[/b] His rugged brown hair often droops over his oddly smooth face when he's not brushing it off to the sides. For this reason, he's taken to wearing a red beanie with a pokeball on it. It looks very worn out but it seems to really pull his hair together. His eyes are a deep brown and seem to always be visible even in dim lighting. The clothing he wears usually is very comfortable yet stylish. 

He isn't what one would consider built, but he has enough muscle definition to be just between skinny and muscular. His voice is a very soft, and often people have difficulty getting his tone down correctly through hearing him speak alone. 

[b]History: [/b]The history of the Arcio family is one of success through hard work. Back when the pokeball was invented 2000+ years ago, the family first settled near the Viridian forest area [img]http://puu.sh/gi0iV/9baa5a08b0.jpg[/img] and began to harvest the lumber from the trees. After 10 generations of success, the family began to gain a lot of influence within the Kanto region. They became known as the most promising source of money for the area, and with it's lumber, essentially helped expand the Kanto and Jhoto regions buildings single handedly.

The family became very well known and started it's own business "Viridian Lumber Co." It's symbol of a caterpie and weedle are on almost every building within the two regions. From this success, the family got very intermingled with the small council. It was from that point on that they always had someone on both the Jhoto and Kanto small council to influence major decisions within the regions. 

After Arceus came down 100 years ago, Ethros' grandfather was present in the region on business and witnessed the event. He promptly converted the family and business to worshiping Arceus. He immediately cast out the previous family name (Ethos doesn't konw what this name was to this day) and dubbed the family "Arcio" to show his patronage tothe pokemon god. This created a massive rift in the Jhoto and Kanto regions, as they didn't see eye to eye on the new wave religion of the Shinnoh region. 

Ethos' father was very strict when he took control of the business. He wanted to really make his father proud, and as such was very cold and calculating with the business decisions. The main goals of Ethros' father in his ownership (ongoing) are to change the brand from caterpie and weedle to Arceus and to expand the lumber exports to the Shinnoh region. 

As a young boy, Ethros was always groomed to become the next owner of the lumber company. As an only child, his father was very strict on him while his mother was very comforting. He would have servants doing most of his chores but disliked it after seeing how a few of his friends were able to cloth and feed themselves. 

At the age of 18, his father brought him a growlithe he obtained while on business. He told him that it would represent the fire in his heart to expand the company and family name. Ethros found comfort in his new friend, and the two quickly became very attached. He decided on the name Dart because he ran faster than any pokemon in the area. 

While with his father on a business trip, Ethros heard whispers of a pokemon named Rayquaza in the Hoenn region. His curiosity finally got the better of him and he decided he'd investigate what this pokemon was in comparison to Arceus. He lied to his father and told him he'd become a pokemon champion. His father thought it was a very good chance to spread fame for the family, so he allowed Ethros to leave. 

When he turned 20, Ethros took off with Dart due north towards Pewter city to try and find his way to Hoenn.
