Name: Samuel 'Sam' Dalmacy - Refers to himself as Maul ~ The Beast of The West. Age: 15 Gender: Male Appearance: Maul has tanned skin, and could be considered short for his age. (Standing at an amazing 4'7") His attire consists purely of Poochyena/Mightyena pelts; a simple vest (With ears on the shoulders), and a very short pair of pants. His hair is as black as coal, and his eyes shine a bright blue, resembling the wide-open sea. He has a necklace of fangs around his neck as his only real item of importance, aside from his knives; not having any real supplies, Pokeballs, or access to technology in general. Though he has a small bag to carry things in, he is a natural survivor, and can usually keep himself fed enough to keep his strength up. History: Born in Pallet Town from a mother who made have had a few too many one night stands, Samuel, or Maul, wasn't exactly raised. His mother had not wanted a child to begin with, and it had all simply been an accident as far as she was concerned. It wasn't long afterwards that the shrewd woman deserted the baby in town, leaving him for whoever he was discovered by. The man who found him was named Baron Dalmacy; he was known for being a hunter of men and Pokemon alike. He was brutal, and effective. And saw Samuel as an asset. He took the boy under his wing, and raised him during his travels through Kanto. As the boy grew, Baron had taught him how to hunt, and survive off the land; to not require the help of others. [I]'You must always push forward. Through pain, and sorrow. It's always better to be alone, than to fight the loss in the future.'[/I] His training was harsh, and Baron never insisted going easy on the boy. Samuel learned how to fight against both humans and Pokemon due to the help of Baron and his Sneasel. By the age of eight, Samuel could hunt smaller basic Pokemon on his own, usually bringing them back as prizes to Baron who approved of the behavior, and taught him how to skin and make basic things out of what he had on hand. His practices continued and he kept improving until the age of thirteen, where he and Baron were attack by a bandit raid during the night. Though they both fought bravely, though after multiple injuries and the fact that numbers were mildly overwhelming, in the end Baron made the decision to allow Samuel to flee with his Sneasel to live another day. He bought time for the boy to escape with Sneasel, and though Samuel doesn't know for sure what happened, he was certain the man he considered a father was dead. He had never understood Baron's lectures about pushing forward until now. He took a moment to simply bid farewell to the man, before moving forward. Sadly, over the last two years, something seemed to have gone wrong with Samuel. He seemed to become more... Wild, shunning society somewhat and refusing to reenter Pallet Town. With Baron's Sneasel he had began assaulting Bandits that wandered off from their groups. Others would find them with stab wounds in vital areas, with nothing of value left on them. Though he didn't absolutely need it, Samuel was smart enough to trade with anyone on the road to get supplies that'd help him more. Words began circling around the western part of Kanto, mainly near Pallet Town, about a beast that hunted the corrupted. This mainly came from the bandits that found their dead comrades during patrols, or at night in their own camps, this word began to spread and eventually reached other people, though most think it's just a myth, or tale to scare kids from leaving Pallet Town. Samuel himself caught wind of this, and began calling himself 'Maul, The Beast of The West'. He took pride in the name, and didn't plan for it to die anytime soon, as long as bandits still roamed the sands...
