In his younger years, constant motivation from his parents made him view the world solely as a battle to the top. He saw everyone as an obstacle in his way, or a tool to be used to get to his objective. As a result, he was something of a loner and didn't have any friends. Since being kicked out, his personality has done a one-eighty and he tries to enjoy where he is in the moment rather than fighting for a future goal. However, if he finds himself in a competitive situation, he has no problem slipping back into his old persona in order to obtain what he wants. [color=gold][b]Backstory:[/b][/color] Being an only child, Axel was constantly the object of his parents' attention. Both of them being successful doctors, they had high expectations their son would follow in their footsteps. This resulted in Axel being forced to study day-in, day-out in order for him to have the 'best' grades, best status, and best future possible. Axel's parents even enrolled him in martial arts and several other extracurriculars for him to be 'the best' athlete as well as best student. He was taught to look at others as inferior to him and to think of them only as stepping stones towards his ultimate goal. As a result, Axel didn't have many friends growing up and spent much of his time either at home, or down at the local arcade when he could get away from his parents. Because he was always there alone, Mr. Brewer - the arcade owner - took notice of him and the two sparked a friendship over their shared love of the arcade games. When Axel entered his sophomore year of high school, an event happened that would change his life forever. He finally worked up the nerve to tell his parents that he was tired of their constant hovering over his shoulder. He hated that he didn't have any friends, and no life outside of them and school. While this was a huge weight to finally get off his shoulders... it had the adverse effect of causing his parents to view Axel as a failure and kick him out of the house. With nowhere else to go, Axel went to Mr. Brewer, who took him in and offered Axel a job in exchange for him living in the back room of the arcade. Not wanting to let this setback hinder him, Axel accepted the offer and quickly picked up the skills needed to keep the arcade cabinets running. Six months into his tenure, an electrical storm caused a power surge at the arcade. When Axel went to make sure none of the machines were fried, one of them was glowing. When Axel touched the machine, he found himself sucked into the screen. He awoke on an empty plain, with a voice addressing him by name. It said he was being charged with the protection of an egg and - if he cared for it - the egg would repay him in kind. The next thing Axel knew, he was standing in a blacked out arcade with a melon-sized egg in his hands. Not knowing what to make of the experience, Toby hid the egg in the back room, not even telling Mr. Brewer about the event that night. Even after the egg hatched, Axel hid the little Punimon and fed it with Instant Ramen he brought home from the supermarket. [color=gold][b]Notes:[/b][/color] - Despite breaking away from his parents, Axel still cares for them and has yet to completely shake their 'competitive' philosophy. He'll often view mundane activities as competitions in order to keep himself engaged. - Due to living on his own for some time, Axel has a fascination with Instant Ramen. It's his goal to eat all the flavors. - When he's not working at the arcade, Axel has another part-time job at an electronics shop where he does maintenance on other electronics such as cell phones and gaming consoles.

Faraday can't sit still when there's a job to be done. Despite his belief that it's his duty to aid those in need, Faraday sometimes acts rather childish when he wants to get his way. Like Axel, Faraday is something of a foodie and loves his ramen. He also has a soft spot for children [color=gold][b]Notes:[/b][/color] [u][i]Evolution Line[/i][/u] [indent][color=gold]In-Training:[/color] [url=https://wikimon.net/tsunomon]Tsunomon[/url] - Tsuno-Slash [color=gold]Rookie:[/color] [url=https://wikimon.net/elecmon]Elecmon[/url] - Nine Tails - Lightning Knife [color=gold]Champion:[/color] [url=https://wikimon.net/Leomon]Leomon[/url] [color=gold][s]Ultimate:[/s][/color] [color=gold][s]Mega:[/s][/color][/indent]
