Bio

(Awesome Gible avatar made by Ridlins)

To-do List:
1. Write a bio
2. Celebrate for finally having written a bio

Hey, my name's Gavin. If you've seen the RP(s) I'm in, you'll know that I name most of my characters that, too. I'd like to say I do it to keep track of them easier or something, but it's really because I'm so bad at coming up with names that I just use my own. I tend to RP with a specific group of people, but if I find the time I'm not opposed to joining other RPs.

I got into roleplaying a while back from a stray Google search. It lead me to a website with a fanfiction written by multiple authors. (Don't judge me too harshly; that's really what I thought it was.) Eventually, I figured out what this "roleplay" concept was. It seemed like a fun idea, so I decided to track down the people who wrote what I had just read and join their current RP. Looking back on it, I'm amazed that my app was (eventually) accepted. I'm not exaggerating when I say that my roleplay/writing skills were absolutely horrible - I was lucky to be able to write a couple sentences per post. If any of you are reading this: thanks for putting up with it back then.

After that RP and its prequel ended, the group I was with moved to this website. I joined (or tried to join) a few of their RPs, but I kept losing interest along the way. There were times where I would get an idea and decide to work on an app, but those never lasted long enough for me to get back into RPing. I stopped making apps, and started checking in on people from time to time because I wanted to keep in contact with them. I eventually realized that it was kind of rude to keep posting on an RP I wasn't in, so I decided not to keep doing that. I checked back here less and less, until I eventually forgot about it.

Until earlier this year last year. A while ago, I remembered the old RPs I had been in and decided to write one of them into a book for myself. I pulled up the old website and started stitching the posts together in my own words into a continuous story, structured more like a book than an RP. I got about a hundred posts in, and that's when I realized that I wanted to RP again. I could tell it was different now; this time I wouldn't get bored halfway through making an app and give up. So, now I'm back. And I don't plan on leaving anytime soon, so you're all stuck with me.

How long ago did Secret Cave or Beach Cave become a mystery dungeon? (Not irl)
*Epic Facepalm*
It was more of a smaller area of Birchwood Forest that was burned. Also, this was a while ago in the RP.

Bio: Gavin was born in Birchwood Forest, and lived there for almost his entire childhood. Even though he was one of the only Shinx in that area, he wasn't teased about it, and had a very smooth life. Having it easy isn't always good, though. Gavin was sheltered from virtually all the world's problems, from knowing about the anger between the guilds, to something as small as a berry shortage. Needless to say it shocked him when something bad happened in his seemingly perfect world.

Nobody knows exactly how it started, but a rumor has been going around that a group of Bunnelby were attacking a Chimchar that wandered into their territory. The Chimchar fought back with a flamethrower, which completely missed the Bunnelby, and instead hit a tree. Using a fire attack in a dense forest probably wasn't a good idea. Within minutes, almost a quarter of Birchwood Forest had caught fire - the part of the forest that Gavin lived in. It quickly became big enough to see even from Treasure Town, which is exactly what happened. Residents of Treasure Town noticed what was happening in Birchwood Forest and word quickly spread of their emergency. Soon there were groups of water Pokemon making their way over there to help extinguish the flames.

Back in the center of the blaze, the entire place was in chaos. Pokemon were running from the fire as trees were burning and toppling to the ground. Gavin was unsure of what to do, because as far as he knew, nothing remotely like this had ever happened. His house was too far away, so the possibility of him hiding in it wasn't an option. Although his house is made of wood, so it wouldn't have been a good idea anyway. Much to Gavin's relief, he spotted his parents running over to him. They all met up and tried to find an exit to the forest that didn't require walking through the flames. There only seemed to be one way out of this area, so they made the decision that would change Gavin's life forever, they followed the path. Not long after, they heard a loud rumbling sound coming from behind them. A large herd of Skidoo had been faced with the same problem, and were currently barreling down the path at unstoppable speeds. Gavin barely managed to avoid them, however his parents weren't as lucky. The only thing that the Skidoo seemed to be thinking about was escaping the fire. Gavin's parents were caught in the stampede and carried off, which would be rather comical if not for the situation.

By the time the water Pokemon extinguished the flames, most of that area of the forest had already burned to the ground. Gavin, having no where else to go, returned to his home to see what was left of it. Like him, many other Pokemon were slowly returning as well only to find that the forest was inhospitable and almost beyond repair. There was nothing left of Gavin's house except a pile of ashes and a blue scarf that had somehow avoided the flames. That item was the only thing left of Gavin's life in Birchwood Forest.

Ten years have passed since the fire. Gavin had left Birchwood Forest in hopes of finding a new place to call home, and his efforts were rewarded with the discovery of Scale City. Using the small amount of money that he had found in dungeons, Gavin bought a house in the city. Even though he got a job and had enough money, his life quickly began to feel empty, so Gavin decided to join the guild. To his surprise, literally every single Pokemon in the Scale City guild was Dragon type. Despite that, Denise, the guild master, wasn't opposed to Gavin joining, and was actually confused as to why everyone there was Dragon type. Gavin's first mission was to find a lost Oran Berry in Secret Cave. not the most challenging mission, but he was just a beginner at this. The last thing that Gavin seems to remember is getting ambushed by a Dweeble...

Appearance: Gavin looks like a normal Shinx, except he wears the blue scarf that he found in the remains of his house.
Differences: No differences, except that he knows Ice Fang. (Egg move.)
Okay, I'll keep working on it.

The entire place was in chaos. Pokemon were running from the flames as trees were burning and toppling to the ground. Gavin was in shock as his entire world crumbled, and he was separated from his parents amid the panic and confusion.

Eventually the flames subsided, leaving the once beautiful forest in ruins. Pokemon began to come back to see what was left of their homes, including Gavin, who found nothing left of his former home or his family. After hours of sadness and disbelief, Gavin finally realized the reality of his situation.

Ten years have passed since that event, and in those ten years, Gavin found Scale City, got a job there, and became a guild member. When joining a guild made up of all Dragon type Pokemon, he expected the guild master to be opposed to an electric type joining. However to Gavin's surprise, Denise actually seemed happy about it.

The last thing that Gavin seems to remember is getting attacked by a Geodude while on a mission...

That's cool! That person has good taste in eeveelutions.
Lol, thanks.
Lugia, would the Denise (I think that's the dragon city guild master's name) be opposed to a non-dragon type Pokemon joining?
Lol.
