[@Fox of Spades] I made a character. Please let me know if it's alright. I had to guess a bit on exactly what you meant like on information about pokemon, also wasn't 100% sure about what the Extra section was for. [hider=CS] Name: Shawn Tyner Appearance:[img] http://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1379736540i/51313.jpg[/img] Age: 18 Personality: Most others see him as very intimidating by his appearance alone and his rather deep voice and some of his very peculiar behavior doesn't help. He can come off as narcissistic, and overconfident. Especially when he battles. As he almost seems to have a visable aura of smug superiority. But it's only because he has deep connection with his pokemon and believes that they will be the best. He has a passion for being a trainer almost as much as taking care of the helpless pokemon he finds. He's very selfless and quite helpful especially to pokemon he believes are in need. He certainly doesn't mind being alone for long periods of time. At least with no other people around, because he doesn't socialize with many actual people, preferring to talk to pokemon. He definitely never starts a conversation and is also socially awkward and shy towards the opposite sex. But he tries to be friendly to those who don't challenge him to a battle. Because, unless your a small child, he will take it offensively. As he is secretly is insecure that he is not good enough to ever achieve his dream. (Just don't ever say that to him if you don't want to make him angry.) Biography: In his youth, he was already considered strange by his parents. As he often would sit and talk to pokemon for hours on end instead of playing with the many children around in the village he lived in. His mother was a nurse for pokemon, which he immediately took interest in. As he would act out being a doctor on his first pokemon he received an eevee who has been with him ever since. He was seen as slightly scary from how he'd dress and behave and how he sounded. Which just furthered distanced himself from most human interaction and his interest in pokemon, often going to his grandfather's ranch. Who had dozens upon dozens of all sorts of pokemon all out of their pokeballs. Which made him question why keep them in their balls at all? Unless they want to be there. Which is why he started to just walk around with his pokemon frequently outside their balls. He was often taking care of injured pokemon, helping his mother at work. The only thing he'd do aside from talking and hanging with pokemon, was read about pokemon. His father had to get him a cellphone, and teach him how to use it because he was worried how I was behaving. As he would often leave the house at night without warning and not come back for hours, usually to meet other pokemon in the woods. Usually helping pokemon he'd find in need. When his eevee had evolved into an Espeon, using telepathy to help him further understand the pokemon's language. After his grandfather passed from a mysterious illness. His will gave his favorite pokemon to his grandson. Despite being only an adolescent the pokemon liked him a lot and followed him without conflict. Missing him deeply, he decided from that point on. He'd become the best pokemon trainer, like his grandfather. Starting to battle other trainers and often win. He left home on his eighteenth birthday, to become the best trainer while also taking time to take care of any injured pokemon he finds along the way. Only recently, after constant bickering from his father. Has he decided maybe he should make some actual human friends... Pokemon Team: [hider=Espeon] Soul [img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/66/Venus_symbol.svg[/img] Type: Psychic Short Bio: Given to him as a young boy, she has looked up to her trainer's behavior in admiration. Doing her best to teach him pokemon language. Almost never in her pokeball, making sure he stays safe. She's very protective of him and her personality is very perky and hyper around him, but she's pretty wild it's not uncommon for her to attack whatever she sees as a possible threat if she isn't stopped, as she listens to him without fault. She do things she'd be personally against if he ordered it so, without hesitation. She's always cautious when strangers approach. But she can warm up to others quickly. While she doesn't s outwardly speak any English, she will often use telepathy to communicate with other humans, even if they don't understand exactly whats said they'll be able to feel the emotion being conveyed. Her abilities are varied from mentally crippling her foes, casting illusions, to sheer power. She sees the other pokemon on his team as family and usually is the one to break up the personal squabbles.

Only very recently evolved. Also often not in his pokeball either. He is not so friendly to others he's not familiar with or even that as he dislikes Houndoom as they were rivals back in their childhood. His personality is rather cocky and stubborn. Really doesn't like being told what to do, literally would be impossible for another trainer to deal with this pokemon, no matter what badges he had. But he still does what he is told. (when its a serious matter or battle at least.) He will often fight in battles until he or his opponent is down, finding it cowardly to run away from a fight.

Does stay in his pokeball only because he doesn't like having much company. He surprisingly is rather calm in most situations, wise and patient. Doesn't do anything until he is told, or when he feels like he needs to protect someone on his team or his trainer. Though rather antisocial and sometimes releases a bit of his anger out when Luxray is anywhere near him acting up or provoking him. Is still depressed, that his original trainer is gone making him want to just sleep in his pokemon most of the time.

It has been with him even since. Goes in and out of his pokeball freely. He is very friendly and usually in a pleasant mood, glad to be around any pokemon or human. Preferring to goof around then stay in his pokeball alone. Encourages his trainer to be more friendly. Preferring to not fight unless its in good fun.

He decided to stay with the trainer for a while which lead to him becoming his pokemon, friendly to other pokemon in general. But really scared of most humans interactions, having bad experiences. But he is comfortable with his trainer, letting him fly around when he needs some place to travel. He doesn't have a name, because he doesn't like them. Refusing to be called anything, in his pokeball most of time. Goes out flying at night.

He offered to become her trainer and she accepted. If she's out of her pokeball, she'll be held in his arms or holding on his back. She behaves like a normal child would, so anything but normal. She likes to hum and sing which she does because she knows the trainer likes it. She is actually quite powerful for her just being a Riolu. But she is still a bit afraid of much bigger pokemon and getting into fights, not liking to get hurt. Has bonded with him and his pokemon quickly.
