Name: Aktzin Veracruz Pokemon: Zekrom Gender: Male Age: 19 Hometown: Fiore Level: 31 Ability: Teravolt Moves: Dragon’s Breath, Thunderbolt, Imprison, Thunder Fang, Ancient Power, Thunder Wave(™) Legendary powers: As the embodiment of Zekrom, Aktzin can control lightning, producing it at will. He can summon lightning from within his own body, although it will be less powerful than channeling the raw and unfiltered version. Doing so drains his own energy which limits him to smaller and more controlled bursts, and requires him to take in more energy from food and rest. While outdoors, Aktzin can call down lightning strikes from above, which are severely amplified in power during storms. Held item: Magnet Appearance: [img]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a88/sakura23003/dtb13/dtb13-9.jpg[/img] Personality: Nice once you get to know him, although can be blunt - often rude - until you gain his trust. Fully dedicates himself to battles and doesn’t like to lose. Aktzin will congratulate opponents on a good battle when he wins, but will be distant and annoyed upon being defeated. Opens up only to those who he trusts, but will be a steadfast and loyal friend to those he can rely on. Optimistically faces down challenges taking on the world with an open mind. Aktzin will help those weaker than him, which displeases his Legend to no end, despite him having complete control. Zekrom believes a weak world isn’t one worth saving, and voices his discomfort through making Aktzin feel uneasy, but otherwise continues on, unaware. From learning the ways of his tribe, one of his greatest strengths is the ability to bond with a variety of different pokemon and use them to their fullest capability. The relationship he has with Salem is an example of this, with her using various support abilities during battles involving them both. Aktzin can be overly quiet and naive with people, often missing deeper meanings and misunderstanding idioms and other common phrases. Due to his tribal ideals, he will rarely keep Salem in a pokeball and should the two become separated, Aktzin will be incredibly tense and worried. Backstory: Aktzin spent his life travelling the Fiore region alongside his family in a nomadic tribal group, who were somewhat reminiscent of the real-world Native American peoples. Any pokemon who worked alongside them were treated with the utmost respect - even revered - which meant Arceus’ Avatar program held a great appeal to them. When one of their own was chosen to represent the pokemon of Ideals, it couldn’t have pleased them more. Despite the honour, for Aktzin, life rolled on regardless, almost unaware of his newfound powers. The campfires were easier to light, that was one thing, but for him and his loyal pokemon, the caravans would not fix themselves. However, this would not be the last time that a higher power would come calling. After eight months of being an Avatar, another showed up from far across the seas, looking for him. The man had traced rumours and hearsay in order to locate him, and had a proposition that ‘was sure to tickle the fancy of his dormant legend’, whatever that meant. The offer was fairly simple. A place in a new pantheon of Gods in return for his help and loyalty in the coming months and years until the plan came to fruition. They would rule together, alongside as many other Avatars as they could find. A utopia based purely on the strength of those who would support the pillars, where the Avatars would receive the respect and treatment they so obviously deserved. After a life of roaming the countryside, a change of scenery appealed to Aktzin, and so he decided to throw his lot in with him. The very nice suit had nothing to do with it.
