Name: Alexander “Alex” Elric Age: 18 Gender: Male [hider=Appearance] [img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d9WMht0GyMc/U2DJUKnAspI/AAAAAAAABZM/94KVMjCjyrU/s2560/Killua-Anime-Wallpaper-HunterxHunter.jpg[/img] [center]Ignore the lightning plox[/center] Alexander is 5’3. He looks rather young for his age but has been toughened up by his time spend in Nimbasa City. He has completly white hair and bright blue eyes aswell as a rather pale skin. He has a large tattoo on his back in the shape of a Arbok which looks like it is about to attack it’s prey. This tattoo has a scar in the shape of three stripes running over it, the result of a claw or some sort attacking him. [/hider] [hider=Personality] At first Alexander might apear to be a little punk. He is cocky, temperamental, arrogant and untrusting. However, this is just an act. In reality he is a very kind and gentle person, although not to humans. He loves every type of Pokemon and would risk his life to save any of them. Who knows, maybe he could treat humans with the same gentleness when he trusts them. Untill now however he would much rather avoid speaking to any unless it’s required. He will go to any lengths to achieve his goals and will never back down without a fight. [/hider] [hider=history] Bron in Nimbasa City, Alexander was the son of two ordinary people who lived their lives peacefully, though it was not to last. At the age of 4 his parents both died in a car accident. Alexander was send to his uncle, who took him in as one of his own. Here Alexander was got in contact with a whole bunch of Pokemon which were all owned by his uncle. He became best friends with them and it seemed as if he might have a happy life after all. Unknown to Alexander however, his uncle was part of an organised crime syndicate which staged illegal Pokemon battles, battles which would severly injury and sometimes even death for the participating Pokemon. Alexander slowly saw his large group of Poke-friends shrink and he questioned his uncle to why he where he was taking all the Pokemon. His uncle didnt tell him the exact truth. “Only once you’re initiated will I tell you.” Alexander didnt understand what that meant and his uncle told him that if Alexander would do anything his uncle said he had to do then he would eventually find out by himself. So Alexander did what was asked of him. He started out as a courier for the crime syndicate but slowly he worked himself up the ladder. He stole, cheated and lied his way higher up. Eventually, at the age of 14, he was finally ready to become “initiated”. To mark him as being part of the syndicate they tattooed a large Arbok on his back. He was also given a bowie knife with the same mark on the pummel. Now that he was part of the syndicate he was allowed by his uncle to see what had happened to the Pokemon he used to love. They had all become fierce Pokemon bred to fight for their survival. Alexander was shocked, not because of what had happened to his Poke-friends, but because he didnt care. Seeing those Pokemon fight to the death should have made him scream in disbelief, but he didnt. He had become completely numb to violence due to his “training”. Alexander was appointed as one of the caretakers for the Pokemon. After a few months he still couldnt believe that he didnt feel any sympathy for them, his old friends. Then he heard some weird noice. A Zigzagoon had accidentily entered a Mightyena’s cage and was about to be attacked. Alexander at first didnt care that much, still numb to it all. But as the Zigzagoon’s cries for help became more and more desperate Alexander suddenly realised what had been happening all this time and he broke free of what his uncle did to him. He jumped infront of the Mightyena and took a claw to his back. He then saved the Zigzagoon and knew what he had to do. For the next few weeks he cared greatly for all the Pokemon. He treated them not as animals but as friends, just like before. When his uncle came to get more Pokemon for the fights Alexander had enough. The Pokemon had suffered enough, now it was time for the people who caused this to suffer. Without his uncle knowing about it Alexander freed all the Pokemon in one night and he informed the police about everything he knew. The next day the Police arrested almost the complete syndicate and released even more Pokemon, it was a great achievement. Alexander was not proud of it however. He felt that he had abandoned the Pokemon, that he should have acted sooner. He couldnt stay in Nimbasa City, hell he couldnt stay in Unova! He instead decided to roam around the world, hopefully finding something worth to do and atone for his sins. Now he passes through New Bark Town and while staying for the night he noticed that the next day there would be a granting of the first Pokemon to certain aspirant trainers. Aah hell, why not give it a shot? [/hider] [hider=Quirks/Habits/Other] - He is very aware of his short height, unless you want to fight him it might be smart to not point out his height. - Because of his past he is very protective of any kind of Pokemon, especially for abuse inflicted by humans. - He is not quick to trust someone, let alone respect anyone. This is due to the fact that the person he trusted most, his uncle, used him for his own goals. - He is ashamed of his past and does his best to hide every evidence of it. - His favourite Pokemon type is fire. - He is a very good cook, both for Pokemon food aswell as for food for humans. - He can survive a long time out in the wild without any proper camping supplies, he learned this from his time in the crime syndicite. - Dispite his small stature he is very temperamental and physically quite strong. Once challanged he will not stop untill he’s won the fight. - The only thing he kept from his time in Nimbasa City was his bowie knife. It serves as a reminder for his past and he will only dispose of it once he thinks he has redeemed himself. It’s strapped to his boot.
