"What in the Dark Dimension are you doing out this late in this weather!?" Malcolm turned around, seeing a man dressed in scrubs. His tone was a combination of concern and condemnation. Malcolm assumed it was probably more for his pokémon than himself. "Did you loose your trainer card or something?"
Might be best to be vague here...
"S-s-s-sorry... It was so c-c-c-cold, and my Abra..."
Malcolm let his voice trail off, trying to give off the guise that he was much weaker than he was. He subtlety hunched over, trying to make himself appear smaller. He made his chattering more excessive and shivering more wild.
Fingers crossed for someone else to be just as good natured as Nurse Alice...
As Malcolm finished his shift and walked outside, the frigid cold hit him immediately. He instinctively hiked up his shoulders and his teeth began to chatter.
"S-s-son of a bitch, this is too much..." Malcolm breath obscured his face as he spoke. "I gotta find some place inside..."
As Malcolm combed through public places where he could stay warm for the night, he thought of the pokémon center. The Nurse earlier had offered him a place to stay and a bath. Considering the current circumstances, he may have to take her up on that offer. After trying to think of more places he could stay for the night and none coming to mind, he reached for Split's pokéball and let her out. Even the stoic abra shuddered at the temperature they were in.
"Hey Split, teleport us back to the pokécenter," Malcolm shivered as he spoke. "It's too cold for camping tonight."
"Abra..." Split nodded, and in an instant, they were outside of the pokécenter. Malcolm quickly made his way inside, looking to see who was at the front desk.
The heat of the dishwasher was making Malcolm sweat more than he anticipated. He would have to visit the laundromat after this for sure. The job was proving to be more intensive than he imagined, he didn't expect this many dishes would need to be washed so quickly.
"Hey temp, trash duty." One of the other employees called out to Malcolm. "And after that, women's bathroom."
This place is a shit show...
But money was money. Malcolm put the dish he was working on in the dishwasher and took the bag.
"And try not to hang out in the trash too long. I know there's no place like home, but you got a job to do." The employee snickered as he went back to his duties. Malcolm grumbled some obscenities underneath his breath, but didn't give the employee much more than that. He had heard worse. Malcolm walked out the back door, tossing the bag in the dumpster. He made his way back inside, not looking forward to the rest of his shift.

Name: Ga-Se-Gar Species: Tiss'Shar, Orl-ar subrace Age: 14 Standard years Gender: Male Clan: Madog Specialization: Blaster Rifles, Vibroswords, Weapon Modifications Planet of origin: Dxun Current area of operation: ???
Detailed description of the warrior.
At the taller end of the Tiss'Shar side of biology, Ga-Se-Gar stands at 5'10" and 370lbs. His muscular frame allows him to perform impressive athletic feats, such as leaping great lengths that the Orl-ar Tiss'Shar are known for.
His Mandalorian armor is jet black, with little modifications, to help him remain hidden. This choice was made the clan leader, Grim, who thought that once he mastered his powers of battle meditation, it would be best for him to remain hidden as much as possible. He keeps his modified blaster rifle strapped to his back and a beskad sheathed on his right hip.
Underneath his armor he has green scales and yellow stripes that run down from the front of his snout to the back of his tail. His body is usually bruised. These bruises tend to have several origins, whether that be from hunting jungle predators, fighting in the battle circles, or various other physically intensive activities that come with the Mandalorian lifestyle on Dxun.
Ga-Se-Gar generally doesn't wear clothing while outside of his armor, as he always felt more comfortable without wearing any. Ga-Se-Gar does own a singular article of clothing, a pointed straw hat. He wears will wear it very rarely, such as on special occasions like holidays or other kinds of celebrations.
Report on all relevant skills and talents, including level of skill.
As Ga-Se-Gar's time was spent between combat training and trying to hone his force abilities, he developed little to no other skills. He knows a bit about weapon modification, as he has modded out both his blaster rifle and beskad, but this is more of a hobby than a fully developed skilled.
Report on known combat experience, training and weapons training.
Ga-Se-Gar excelled in survival and combat training when training with his father, and completed the verd'goten with ease. This is due a to combination of his natural knack for combat and his force abilities, which help him excel as a warrior.
His aim with the blaster rifle is immaculate, and he has known to be very versatile with the weapon. Whether it be overwhelming opponents with well placed shots, sniping out high priority targets while under fire, or engaging in a quick draw, if there is any feat that can be done with a blaster rifle, Ga-Se-Gar has already probably mastered it.
Ga-Se-Gar also frequents the Battle Circle, and has proven his worth with a beksad on more than one occasion. While only considered adequate on with his swordsmanship alone, Ga-Se-Gar's becomes a force to be reckoned with while using force speed. While forbidden in official battle circle combat, veterans have been known to spar with Ga-Se-Gar using force speed in preparation for upcoming fights.
Report on natural ability with the Force, as well as all known Force Techniques and the skill level.
Ga-Se-Gar shows great potential with his force powers, but has received no formal training for his techniques. Ga-Se-Gar's ability to wield the force remain very basic, but all he needs is the appropriate teacher for him to truly excel.
Force Sense (Tier I) Through trying to learn through the force himself and having a strong affinity to the force, Ga-Se-Gar is able to sense the general level of power of other force users and places that strongly emanate the force.
Force Speed (Tier I) Ga-Se-Gar uses this force technique whenever he sees necessary, whether that be for combat or to get places faster. This helps him move faster on the battlefield, take in his surroundings quicker, and strike more times than possible without use of the force.
Force Barrier (Tier I) Ga-Se-Gar has learned this ability more of as a result of him studying the force in general rather than studying this skill in particular. Ga-Se-Gar rarely uses this underdeveloped force technique, but knows how to use it nonetheless.
Battle Meditation (Very, very weak) Ga-Se-Gar has show the capability of using Battle Mediation and has been looking on ways to master it. He has scrounged Dxun for any artifacts, Jedi or Sith, to help him learn about Battle Meditation but has had little luck in finding any. Currently, the ability only makes him and his companions "feel lucky" while he is around.
Detailed notes on known rivals and enemies.
Ga-Se-Gar has had made little opportunities to make enemies, as he has spent most of his life on Dxun and with his clan. However, Ga-Se-Gar has made several rivals within the clan walls. While his skills in battle have earned him praise, Ga-Se-Gar cocky and better-than-you attitude has earned him the ire of a few of his brothers. A lot of the lower ranked Mandalorians in the Battle Circle constantly challenge him, hoping to best him in swordplay but end up being crushed. Mandalorians of the same age of Ga-Se-Gar are constantly compared to his far superior skill level, and thus they look for the opportunity to best him in anyway when they get the chance.
List of known belongings, including but not limited to planetary surface property, civilian and military vessels, vehicles, weapons, tools.
Ga-Se-Gar owns standard Mandalorian armor that he wears almost all the time. His blaster rifle is modified with a Mark II targeting scope and Mark I broadening chamber he added himself throughout the spare time he has had throughout the years. He keeps a Mandalorian beksad with him, made of the same durable material as his armor. His beksad is equipped with a basic Nagai grip, which is still a very rare and powerful modification.
List and description of known and suspected flaws. To be put into restricted database.
Ga-Se-Gar's ego is very inflated. His skills are nothing to be scoffed at, but Ga-Se-Gar has not experienced "real combat." Ga-Se-Gar has run many training courses, fought countless jungle creatures, and also run plenty of mock wars, but he has yet to leave the encampment on Dxun for a real fire fight.
known interests of the warrior.
Ga-Se-Gar's goal in life is to master his battle meditation to make Clan Madog the strongest Mandalorian clan in the galaxy.
Major achievements on record.
Ga-Se-Gar's only notable achievement is hunting down and killing a Zakkeg by himself, as he has experienced little actual combat.
Personal biography, as detailed by the subject for use in Mandalorian archives. Acquired shortly after last achievement of note.
Ga-Se-Gar was adopted as an egg by two older Mandalorians, Baid and Theko Pynor, who had already lost children in the Great Galactic War. They had taken the egg whilst out recruiting other Tiss'Shar on Tiss'Sharl.The Tiss'Shar who gave Ga-Se-Gar away had laid one too many eggs in her clutch and was going to leave it for dead before Baid and Theko offered to take care of the child. The mother thanked them for sparing her unborn child's life and had only one request, that the child be named Ga-Se-Gar, meaning "lucky warrior." The couple took the egg and kept it warm until it hatched. Unbeknownst to them, their new ik'aad had the potential to be one of most crucial member of Mandalorian society for generations to come.
Ga-Se-Gar demonstrated his aptitude for the force from a very young age. Early on in his training with his father, he would constantly speed ahead of his father with his force speed. He would corner jungle animals for kills with his force barrier. And his father always felt his aim was slightly better when he was with his son. This lucky feeling was the first sign of Ga-Se-Gar's akaan sur'ar, battle meditation.
Ga-Se-Gar did not realize the incredible potential of his battle meditation until he completed his verd'goten and became an adult. Grim, the leader of clan Madog, told him that his power could be use to turn the tide in wars, and that he should focus on mastering it, as it could be immensely useful for helping him fellow Mandalorians to become unstoppable on the battlefield.
Ga-Se-Gar alternates between honing his battle skills and looking for anything to help him to learn to master his battle meditation. Unfortunately for Ga-Se-Gar, his progress in mastering his force abilities has stagnated, even if they were barely progressing before. With no master to teach him, Ga-Se-Gar's seeks out either some sort text he can study or a teacher willing to impart their knowledge of the force onto him.
The end goal is for Ga-Se-Gar to eventually choose a side between the Jedi or Sith. The choosing of the side will be motivated by his desire to learn more about his Battle Meditation, and the fact that if he doesn't choose a side, both will see him as a threat (due to his Battle Meditation capabilities) and would rather have him killed. His desire to learn more about his Battle Meditation stems from his want for Mandalorian clan to become stronger, but I would like for his loyalties to change from the Mandalorians to whatever order he chooses after sometime. This will obviously involve a lot of character interactions and time spent with the order, but as he is still young (while 13 is an adult in Mando, 14 is still young enough to be influenced/in development, in my opinion) and sheltered, I think being exposed to a new way of thinking after developing a close relationship to a master could definitely make this change of mindset possible.
@Balthazar007 Must be nice, when I worked in food service I always had to handwash the everything. Being away from home makes me appreciate the dishwasher I had for sure XD
The thought of catching the wild Patrat was tempting. The thing was very lost, and the chances of finding it's parents were relatively slim. But as always, money was the issue. Another mouth to feed, body to keep track of, potential other expenses like medication...
He pet the Patrat under the chin. "You find the rest of your pack, alright little guy? They probably miss you."
"Zu-zu!"
"Come on, Screech, you know we barely get by now..."
"Zubat! Zubaatt!"
"Electabuzz..."
"Guys, we all know how tight it is right now..." Malcolm rubbed his temples. "The little guy is gonna be fine..."
"Abra."
"The free food isn't something we can do all the time, guys, not everyone is as nice as nurse Ali-"
"Electabuzz?"
"You know why I won't fucking get one!" Malcolm shot up, kicking the camp stove in the process. The scream pierced the serenity of the nature around the group. Ex recoiled from Malcolm and Screech darted behind him. A few Rufflet flew from the nearby trees, and everything went quiet for a moment, with the only sound being a nearby creek's babbling.
Malcolm slowly ungritted his teeth and withdrew his hostile stance.
"I'm sorry guys, let's just..." Malcolm sighed once again. "Let's just get the restaurant."
He pulled out their pokeballs, returning them to their spherical little homes. He slowly walked over to the camp stove, hoping it was broken from being kicked so hard. He completely forgot about the Patrat that was there earlier.
Malcolm laughed at the small pokemon's ravenous appetite. As it sat there, eyes pleading for more, Malcolm rolled his eyes.
"Alright, that was my last egg. But I got a few berries."
Malcolm covered up the small gas lamp that was heating his stove. As he began cleaning off the burnt scraps left over, he whistled at Split. She slowly made her way to the back pack and flicked the top open. 3 Razz berries floated out of the bag. They may have been a little bit past their prime in quality, but they were edible nonetheless. Split slowly floated them to the Patrat.
He must be really hungry if he isn't scared of the four of us...
Malcolm turned his head to the little guy. He had to admit, it was cute, but be didn't want to get too attached. He could barely get enough money for the pokemon he had now.
"Want some, little guy?" Malcolm gestured toward the egg. "Come on, don't be shy."
Malcolm motioned Ex over.
"Ex, give the little dude some food."
"Electabuzz."
Ex scooped up the egg in his hands and held it out towards the Patrat.
Personally, I'm having a blast, even if my character right now is dying for another character to make him more dynamic XD
@Balthazar007 has done a great job with building the world and making a map with all the gym leaders, special little gyms, and all the like. The world building is also pretty flexible, I just asked if we could include shadow pokemon for a potential character, and Balthazar said sure, and is gonna add markers for Relic Shines on each continent. We haven't gotten to a lot of pokemon stuff yet due to the nature of my character, but Balthazar seems dedicated to making a roleplay that fits whatever character you want to play.
If you're looking for a nice blend of a slice of life and pokemon, or just pokemon, this is definitely a great roleplay for you!
