[b]Name:[/b] Calvin Mistdale [b]Age:[/b] 29 [b]Birthday:[/b] August 4th [b]Occupation:[/b] used to be a Probation Officer [b]Residence:[/b] used to live in a rather modern but modest flat in Australia before leaving [b]Appearance:[/b] A first glance at Calvin would give you some surfer vibes as he has semi-long, sandy-blond, curly hair and bright blue eyes and has that typical Australian tan. He appears to be what they call thin-muscled, enough to show off but nothing extreme. His right arm is completely covered in tattoos. His facial expression is more serious than you would expect. [b]History:[/b] Being a Probation Officer, Calvin spend a lot of time among people who required a lot of patience of him. Time after time, he had to keep faith in people who made it hard to be understood. Because of his dedication to his job, Calvin's personal life kept decreasing until his own social network had shrunk to a minimum. At first he was clueless about what was happening to him and he enjoyed his job so much that he even started to work on cases in his free time, but soon there was no time left for friends, family or dating. At some point he felt indredibly lonely when he wasn't at work and it made him realize there was something missing in his life. He felt the need to change something, eventhough he wasn't exactly sure what he wanted to change. There was just this feeling of.. emptiness.. He searched on the internet which plane tickets were affordable and kept browsing for them without ever actually buying anything. Sometimes he even selected 'one way' flights and wondered if he had the guts to just leave everything behind. But where would he go? What would he do? Would he find a job as satisfying as he had now? Then one day, a pokémon showed up at his doorstep and it changed everything. [i](You can read more about the two of them meeting in the prologue) [/i] [b]Personality:[/b] independent, ambitious, patient, forgiving, lonely [quote][b]Pokemon Owned:[/b] Pokemon: Absol Gender: M Ability: Pressure Personality: Calm and passive in general but passionate in battles if required Friendship & Affection: Calvin and Absol are attached to each other and have a mutual understanding of their bond without either side requiring to show this to much. They are both individualists and on their own and respect that about each other but when it comes down to it, they will do anything it takes for the other. At times, they can easily get upset at the other, but it always ends quickly. History: The amount of silence and the short-lived conflicts between them has somehow made their bond stronger, as their mutual respect for each other keeps growing every time. They have learned how to read the other's body language and a simple look in the eyes can send a powerful message. As much as they seem to prefer being on their own, it's obvious they have grown very attached to each other's company. Moves Used: Quick Attack, Bite, Future Sight, Perish Song[/quote] [b]Trivia:[/b] Calvin has a few addictions he never speaks of. [b]Prologue:[/b] When Absol showed up, everything changed for Calvin. It was almost as if Absol had chosen him specifically for a greater purpose but what could it be? Surely it was no coincidence that around the same time there were rumors of a Pokemon Underground Network in Seattle. The odd meeting with Absol was the last push Calvin needed to go through with his decision to quit his job and leave Australia. When he asked Absol if they should go to Seattle to find this Underground Network, it was very clear that Absol fully agreed to that decision. Had they send Absol here to make sure Calvin would be convinced? Had Absol acted on his own? Time would tell but for now a great adventure was about to start. Once they got there, Calvin hadn't got the slightest clue on where to start. He and Absol walked through the back alleys of Seattle while trying to come up with a plan on how to find this, probably very well hidden, organisation. They both also realized that they didn't have any place to stay yet so they would have to get their priorities straight before sunset if they didn't want to sleep outside that night.
