Ryik
Name: Alex(ander) Furst
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Personality:
If this young adult was found in the arctic, Alex probably wouldn't be too out of place due to his frosty demeanor. When around a lot of people, he can become rather cold and often crude towards other people. He will bluntly state his mind and won't hesitate to skip straight to the point unless he feels like snarking off at a person for acting quite demure. He is slightly a hypocrite in this regards as he dislikes people who constantly beat around the bush and constantly toy with them, especially if the situation is foreboding. In this state, unless you trigger him, he will be nigh difficult to fluster or elicit a volatile reaction from him.
Despite this all, Alex actually feels very... disconnected from other people, save for a few people he seems to trust. He often finds himself feeling lonely with this to regard; to be quite frank, he absolutely loathes it. Alex won't exactly admit this, but he seems to act rather clingy at times, or depressed when not surrounded by others he cares for.
Going further on this, he just doesn't like the feeling of abandonment in general to the point of despising it, even when other people do it. This is one of the quickest ways to set him off, into either pure undulated rage or an unexpressive, dull, solemnness young man.
Most of all, he seems to act more open when around pokemon and will more so select them at the expense of others. During this time, he seems very friendly than it looks to be before and has a particular understanding over how they all act due to previous interactions, though he isn't perfect.
History:
Age 1-6
Having interactions with pokemon his whole life, Alex was conceived by a business man and the owner of a day care center in Johto. While it was near the outskirts of Goldenrod, he always had interactions with other children and myriads of pokemon that trainers would often leave there for a time before coming back to pick them up. The young man seemed to have a quick understanding of pokemon more than he did humans as he would often knew how to interact with each pokemon for the most part, either through sharing some berries with them or playing a few games.
Alex's mother was glad the child was making friends in said department, she felt it would be healthy for him if he had a couple of human friends and often urged him to play with some of them while growing up. Of course, he was somewhat adamant at first, but in due time he inoculated a few others into his "clique" of pokemon friends. Of course, his mom thought he missed the point, but let him do his own thing from this point on, seeing as he had a mutual understanding with the others.
She did keep strict control on which people and poke's to interact with however.
Of course, as he grew up more and more, he was eventually required by law to attend school and was often denoted as a wild child who seemed to rouse up the class and often getting in trouble. This almost lead to him being kicked out of school until his parents enforced some stern methods on him which left him isolated from the beings he came to care about so much. Over time, this lead to him mellowing out in class, but he still had his rough patches.
As he grew older, due to a business position, they had to move out, much to the boys dismay. Alex was often found in tears knowing this, not wishing to leave everything he had behind. So of course, like any sensible child, disappeared into the wilds for a week. Worried, his parents spent most of their free time searching for the boy, fearful of what was to come, contacting the police for any signs of their son, anything.
Things were different, as the boy slowly regressed to some of his older habits and survived due to the partnership he formed with familiar faces. Working together with some of his friends, he managed to organize the food they managed to secure, attempt to scare off pokemon trying to steal their resources, etc. Due to this, some pokemon began flocking around a certain area which eventually lead to the child. Once found, sleep powder was used to put them all to sleep and the boy was retrieved.
Rather sorrowful, he continued to beg his parents to let him stay as he didn't want to lose what friendships he made. While they did regret telling their son about this, they cut him a deal - one day would be dedicated to spending time with those he grew closest to; a huge farewell to him.
Alex sounded particularly pleased about this and he looked forward to such an eventful day, whilst suppressing the thoughts.
...
Despite all the bittersweet good-byes and fond memories, this left an impact on the boy for the following years to come.
Age 6-14
After the whole event, there was a two day plane ride in which his father attempted to cheer the young Alex up by explaining all the sites and glamorizing most of the interesting places in the region. He explained that him and his mom would be living in Nimbasa City, often talking about how he would have so many events to attend to. While he did tell him most of his time would be spent in Castelia and would make an even bigger attempt to spend time with Alex since he acknowledged that he wasn't there that much for the boy. While he didn't exactly understand everything at the time, Alex gave him the biggest hug he could for a six year old and told him he was a good papa for trying to cheer him up.
While his father spent most of the time trying to reconcile due to lost time, Alex seemed happy for the most part... but when they arrived, he was more... "withdrawn" when it came to school. He always seemed to distance other people from him, keeping people at arms length. While this lead to kids trying to bully him due to his demeanor, he would often brush it off and ignore them... which got boring after a while. So they went to a last resort and got physical.
Which ended badly since they kept trying to gang up on him one at a time.
It only served to push everyone else away completely, seeing as he believed they would only want to come to him to use as a verbal punching bag or otherwise. During this time, he didn't have many friends (aside from pokemon) which left his parents befuddled. This eventually lead to more teasing and eventually the other children making him out to be less than human.
When he was ten, he decided to start helping out his mom at the day care she was hired to work at, seeing as he had nothing better to do. This lead to one of his ventures and a chance encounter at making a friend when one of the Darakuma's decided to run off, leading to a full on chase to get her back. While some of the caretakers were faster, they lacked the stamina to keep up which resulted in Alex chasing the pokemon all the way to the ruins, despite pleas and shouts for him to come back.
Upon entering, he got lost in the place, though he found the place to be quite intricate and interesting. He made sure to avoid the obvious traps and pitfalls that looked to engulf others who fell in. He was able to easily find the Darakuma, following the fading footprints that lead from one hallway to the next.
What he encountered next was unexpected.
As he took note of the spellbound pokemon, he swiftly dove and grabbed it, taking it somewhat by surprise. Of course, there was a youth by the sharp corner who looked to be around his age, standing around the corner. She didn't seem to take much interest in the boy, but he almost found it peculiar that she was out here on her lonesome.
Eventually after that incident, along with returning the Darakuma, he would, from time to time, head out there, either with his parents or solo. More often than not, he would always end up running into her afterwards, always taken aback by her sudden appearance, but soon grew to expect it any time he was there exploring.
Of course, one of the days when he decided to go assist his mom at the day care, he ran into said girl on his way there. While she was fairly silent, Alex seemed to be the more talkative of the duo, starting off by commenting on him seeing her often in the ruins. While he was cautious of her, the lady didn't seem to malignant. One thing lead to another and she eventually invited him on a venture to the ruins with her.
The silence spoke much louder than words.
...
During this time, he often heard of some of the other kids attempting to get their trainer license. While the test wasn't particularly difficult, he didn't care for the most part as that meant you technically graduated from the trainer portion of school, and for the most part. Alex wasn't too keen on missing out on the fundamentals, along with dropping out too early due to the implications... plus he had made a friend also.
Though, when they got older, during one of their journeys in the ruins, she fell into a sand trap and sunk deeper into the enigmatic building.
Which left him horrified to no end.
Over the next few days, he began to search for her, determined to discern her location and bring her home. He even got his parents on the case, though they seemed to have a grim look on their face when he told them.
Eventually after three days, she came back on her own, completely safe and sound... however she seemed somewhat... different than before. She acted enigmatic in a childish way. Sounds all fine and dandy, except Alex, while happy, felt rather bemused about how she survived in there. Further more, she was accompanied by an unfamiliar ghost pokemon which was holding a mask that looked... eerily similar to her face.
One thing lead to another and eventually a confrontation over how she survived. While she continued to playfully mess with him, it only roused him up and caused him to break down due to him immensely worrying about her safety... and her just making one huge joke of it.
Once again he was friendless and the ruins became less... occupied.
... during this time, he moved away once more due to a business decision. He never got to reconcile...
Age 14-17
Nothing to really say here except he was lonely and continued his schooling. Along with that, his mom managed to save up for opening a day care in Estoria City and managed to make it stand out due to its greenery. During this time, he managed to graduate from school, but doesn't exactly know what he wants to do with his life. Still sporting a cool attitude, he started working at the pokemon day care before eventually coming to a resolution on how to discover what he was made for.
A journey.
He had passed his trainer exam a while back and could apply to be a full fledged trainer. Saving up on money, he constantly prepared himself for the task ahead, building up his savings and buying items for the trip. Soon enough the day was there.
It was time for him to encounter his destiny.
