Username: Chexmix Name: Gentry Age: 26 Gender: Male Country of Origin: Leonias Weapons: -A simple Longbow with a quiver of steel arrows -A two-handed steel greatsword strapped to his back Pokemon: Salamence | Earthquake - Fire Blast - Hydro Pump - Draco Meteor In the aftermath of the disaster at his family's farm, Gentry found a small, helpless Bagon left behind. It didn't have the same look in its eye as the other dragons did, though the sight of it filled Gentry with rage. Despite this, he couldn't find it in himself to kill the defenseless beast, and so he showed mercy. The Bagon clung to Gentry to his annoyance, but eventually the two formed an unbreakable bond. Now fully evolved and no longer the same defenseless baby, Salamence is fierce and strong, much like his master. Salamence is the leader of the pokemon pack and Gentry's strongest, as well as best friend. Some would say Salamence has a better sense of humor than Gentry. Despite her small size as a Bagon, she is quite large for her species. Scizor | Bullet Punch - Roost - Aerial Ace - X-Scissor Scizor was Gentry's second Pokemon to befriend. Well into his warrior training, Gentry stumbled upon a scyther in the forest one afternoon. At the sight of Gentry's red scarf, the wild scyther charged, and Gentry elected to take him on with his own sword. The battle went long into the evening; scyther was much faster but Gentry much more controlled. When the scyther was finally defeated, Gentry again showed mercy, and the scyther joined the group out of respect and thanks. Scizor is now ready to step in for any battle in Gentry's defense or by his side. Scizor is now Gentry's sparring partner as well. Absol | Sucker Punch - Thunder Wave - Aerial Ace - Thunderbolt Absol was the final member to join the party. Travelling through a village, Gentry was told of a pokemon which brought terror to the land. The rumor was, whenever the pokemon was seen, an earthquake or tsunami was sure to follow. When Gentry tracked down the beast that was haunting the land, he found Absol and defeated her in battle. The wounds Absol suffered immobilized her, but no earthquakes were felt. When a nearby horde of Dugtrio attacked, Gentry determined they were the real cause of the earthquake and nursed the Absol back to health. She is the kindest and most affectionate of Gentry's pokemon, though Absol is still misunderstood as a bad omen by most people. Appearance: A tall, strong man. He has various scars from previous battles, and a large burn mark on his back. In battle, he wears a scaled leather armor. Personality: Gentry is a business-only type warrior. Strong and silent, the best term used to describe him would be "Battle-hardened." He doesn't have much of a sense of humor, isn't much for making friends (other than his pokemon), and really isn't a pleasure to be around. His reputation in battle have made him a bit arrogant, but not boastful. He has little patience for the "weak" around him. In battle he is intense, ruthless, and justified. Despite these faults, Gentry is EXTREMELY loyal. His devotion for his country and its ideals of righteous justice and balance is limitless, and is the driving force behind his years of training. Though he is stern, when on the right side of the justice he is seeking, you will never have a more faithful friend. Short Biography: Gentry was the son of a poor herdsman. Living on the farm they were quite isolated from the rest of Leonias, so Gentry didn't meet many people other than those who worked handling the livestock. Despite this, Gentry was happy then. At the age of 12, the farm was attacked by a large herd of Dragon pokemon. When help finally arrived it was too late. His family was slaughtered and his home destroyed. Gentry was taken in by an older couple who lived two farms over. The man who took him in was a retired warrior, the old woman very kind but too old for children of her own. He learned from his new father how to fight, and was driven by vengeance. As soon as he was old enough Gentry left to become a warrior, and quickly rose through the ranks. Stories spread through Leonias of the young warrior who soon became somewhat of a legend. When the King of Phoenicis sent his summons, Gentry saw it as an opportunity to spread justice throughout the world and gladly joined in. Other: "Apologies mean nothing. Pick yourself up and make sure it doesn't happen again, if you truly want someone's forgiveness."
