He stands at six feet tall, and has a slim physique. He used to be rather awkward looking when he was younger, but has since grown into himself. He has a heart shaped face with a firm jaw. His eyes are as green as the forest. He has a mop of blonde hair on top of his head Pine doesn’t have much of a taste for fashion in his day to day life. He dresses in casual jeans and T-shirts, often green in color and with floral patterns on them. Then other days he just wears floral patterns head to toe. He has even been known to wear flowers in his hair. In all of his outfits, he always wears a pair of thick green glasses, as he his near sighted. [b]Dorm:[/b] Slifer Red [b]Personality:[/b] Once upon a time, Pine was a shy and nerdy young man. He didn’t have an easy time socializing with people, and also didn’t have much confidence. He often preferred his plants and Pokemon more than other people’s company. After joining Duel Academy, Pine developed a bit more confidence, but he's still awkward when it comes to interactions with people. He is interested in science, and is particularly fascinated with plants and Plant based cards. He treats plants, and the monsters in his deck as if they were his babies. Some days, Pine hates humanity. His experiences with being bullied and how people take the environment for granted contributed to this. He can be rude to people when he first meets them. He can still be rude even after he first meets them. There are moments where he thinks he's smarter than everyone else, and the people around him are idiots. He’s not opposed to using his Psychic abilities on humans if they bother him too much. Even though he often feels like the world would be better off without humans in it, he understands that they are needed. If only to provide carbon dioxide for the plants. There are other times when Pine longs for human companionship. If anyone shows him even the slightest hint of kindness, he will be all for it. He’ll cling to that person and be their best friend whether they like it or not. He will talk their ear off about whatever he's interested in. Maybe he'll care about what the other person has to say... Maybe. At least until he perceives they did him wrong in some way. Then he’ll be furious and seek revenge. He can even be flirty with people he finds attractive. In general, his emotions can vary wildly at any given time. [b]History:[/b] Florian Pine was born to a pair of scientist parents. They studied exotic plants in their natural habitats. Due to the fact that they were often out in the field researching, they weren't around very much to raise their son. Sometimes they took him on research trips with them, but when they did, they often left him to his own devices. Growing up, Pine always had a fascination for plants. Something he got from his parents. On his free time, he would frolic in the flowers, climb the trees, etc. He saw how often people would casually leave their trash on the floor in the forest, which could harm the environment. Pine would tell them to pick up their trash, and they'd just laugh him off. Others found his intense fascination to be odd. He was often bullied by others because he was physically weaker, psychologically delicate, and in their eyes he was just plain weird. He would be picked on, beaten up, called deaming nicknames, every kind of bullying you could imagine. He was even made fun of because his first name was Florian, which was weird. He also had to sit alone during lunch because no one else wanted to sit with him. Him trying to defend himself by saying it means flower did not help the matter. He bullied by one boy in particular, who already had a Duel Monsters deck, when most of the other kids didn't even have their own yet. He was sure to brag about that in everyone faces, but especially Pine. Pine made it no secret that he wanted a Plant Deck. Of course this got no end of ridicule from this boy. He talked about how much cooler Dragons were than silly flowersl. Pine knew he was wrong, but he hated having to hear this kid's bragging every day. It would later come out that this boy brought his father's deck to school, and it wasn't actually his, but that didn't make it better. Despite all the bullying, there was person who seemed to show him kindness. A boy named Evan often defended him from bullies. Evan was handsome and one of the most popular boys in school. Pine was shocked him of all people would take the time to defend him. They hung out together sometimes, and it was the first time Pine actually had a friend! He finally had somebody to sit with during lunch. It didn't take long for Pine to get a crush on Evan. After a long while, Pine finally built up the nerve to ask Evan out on a date. Evan politely turned him down. Pine was not happy about this, but he was able to move on with his life. Than he heard Evan talking to his girlfriend in the hallway. She witnessed Pine asking her boyfriend out, and wanted to know what happened. Evan basically admitted to his girlfriend that he didn't like Pine all that much, and thought he was as weird as everyone else did. The only reason he defended him was out of pity. He told his girlfriend she was the most important person in his life, and kissed her. Now, Pine was devasted. Over time, Pine managed to build a Plant Deck of his own, and challenged Evan to a friendly duel. Just to show their were no hard feelings. (Which was a lie. There were lots of hard feelings. He wanted to destroy him!) At first, Pine was losing badly, which just made him mad. When his anger got the best of him, that’s when the tide of the duel started to turn. Whenever he did damage to Evan’s life points, Evan actually got hurt for real. The environment around them also seemed to get destroyed. Pine didn’t know what was going on, but he didn’t care. He was finally getting the revenge he wanted. When Evan’s LP fell to zero, Evan was knocked unconscious, and had to go to the hospital. His parents heard about this, and eventually enrolled him into Duel Academy. If anybody knew what was going to know what was going on with him, it would be Duel Academy. Their Pine took great pleasure in exploiting his abilities to cause pain to others, as had been inflicted on him. Even if they didn’t necessarily deserve it… [b]Spirituality:[/b] Pine can see and communicate with Duel Spirits [b]Spirit Partner:[/b] Jerry Beans Man [b]Ace Card:[/b] Tytannial Princess of Camellias [b]Deck(s):[/b] Will figure out a good deck name later [hider=Plants] [u]Monsters[/u] 2x Lonefire Blossom 2x Gigaplant 1x Seed of Flame 1x Cactus Fighter 3x Botanical Lion 1x Gigantic Cephalotus 2x Rose Tentacles 1x Tytannial, Princess of Camellias 1x Lord Poison 1x Dandylion 1x Hedge Guard 1x Jerry Beans Man [u]Spells[/u] 2x Seed Cannon 2x Thorn of Malice 2x Solidarity 2x Fragrance Storm 1x Mark of the Rose 2x Black Garden 1x Mystical Space Typhoon 2x The World Tree 1x Rose Bell of Revalation 1x Book of Moon 2x Miracle Fertilizer [u]Traps[/u] 1x Wall of Thorns 1x Ivy Shackles 2x Pollinosis 1x Final Attack Orders [/hider] [/hider]
