Name: Drake Ivans Age: 17 Status: Second year of the academy Personality: Drake would be considered calm and low maintenance he enjoys to take things in his stride. Growing up by a lake life moved a little slower than in the capital. He still isn't used to the high volume of people in the academy and city and sometimes it becomes overwhelming with him needing time away to slow down. This doesn't mean his is slow, he would claim to be fairly quick witted and enjoys being part of an event. Drake is a more physical, doer rather than an academic which he can struggle with and is too nervous to ask for help which can be to his downfall. Biography: Drake grew up away from the hustle and bustle of the cities within the regions. He was located in a idyllic village on one side a vast lake with a large mountain range behind. He among the other children in the village were home schooled by various parents that had the time to do so. The focus was more on practical skills than the natural history of the world, although he can read and write the knowledge of the world was based on the locals and few books gifted by passing merchants. His parents lived a happy life one a fisherman and other a cook. It was a humble life for definite. In his early teenage years Drake was an adept swimmer enjoying it in his spare time, one day whilst swimming he noticed alongside him a shadow, it wasn't unusual there are plenty of pokemon in and around the area but his parents always said to air on the side of caution. Drake headed to the shore a golden sanded beach which he lay on taking a breather and looking for this 'shadow'. Eventually the shadow started to get closer, soon with the sun shining down on the water a glint of red appeared on the top, it was a golduck which rose out of the water and watched Drake. Unsure what to do Drake simply waved and said hello not expecting much but the golduck seemed to mimic the movement. The golduck looked like it was gesturing him to return to the water, Drake waded waist deep still a bit nervous, this was soon changed to laughter as the golduck began spouting water around him which caused the golduck to laugh which to a human was more of a quack. From that day there bond grew, every time he would swim golduck would accompany him almost like a swim teacher trying to improve a student. One day Drake was on the shore with his golduck after a swim, whilst sat there a group of Basculin begin t encircle some of the fishing boats punching holes in the bottom planks. The people on board began to panic jumping off and trying to swim to shore. As the boats began to sink the Basculin changed their interest to the fishing folk who were approaching the shore. In that instant Drake said to Golduck "We have to do something!" they both waded into the shallows in an instant he felt one with the golduck and his appearance changed. His body draped in armour and a trident formed itself in his right hand with a glowing red gem at the centre of the forks. As he entered the water the armour didn't restrict but allowed free movement as if it was part of him. Between the two of them they began to ward off the groups protecting his fellow villagers. The town rejoiced and saw Drake as a hero. Since that day the villagers felt safe on the water with Drake and Blue around. The bond grew and together they would try to join as one sometimes working sometime not. It was only until a passing caravan heading to the capital stopping for rest explained about this 'Unity phenomenon'. It took several months but a letter was delivered about a school in the capital, the whole village were so proud. Drake thought what an opportunity to make his family and the village proud, he made the journey. Initially it was such a radical change Drake struggled, the lessons were difficult and his basic knowledge of the world seemed to be a detriment that some didn't understand. Occasionally Drake would skip lessons just to get out and clear his mind with his companion. He managed to pass to his second year but is becoming more anxious about the difficulty of the course, he doesn't want to let his village down or be a disappointment to his family. Partner Pokémon + Unity Abilities: Drakes pokemon is Blue the Golduck when in Unity his armour is damp which exudes into the air cooling the environment and seems to prevent certain moves from other pokemon which Drake is slowly learning. Drakes armour is a mixture of scales both in colour and sizes it looks heavy but feels lightweight and is unhindered when in water. His trident is main weapon and the school his helping with martial moves improving his attack ability (Fury Swipes). Slowly Drake is gaining some passive psychic which allies can notice by the jewel on his trident, occasionally he as been able boost people cheering or a form of inspiration (Psych up). Drake is able to manipulate the water on the end of his trident almost forming it to whatever his mind can conjure to use in attack or defense (Water Pulse). Drake is still limited in battle as he is a novice compared to others in the academy. Likes: Swimming, Outdoors, Stories, Competitive Sport Dislikes: Crowded areas, Written work, Materialists Quirks: Drake is always energetic as if he needs no rest, however when he does rest it doesn't have to be a bed, the floor, tree, your shoulder are all perfect. He has also gained great survival skills such as hunting fishing and building makeshift shelters. Relations
