I don't remember much of the original Explorers of Void, seeing as I dipped in and out of it.
That's why I said if you remembered correctly.

Bio: Spruce has always been 'the little brother', or 'that other snivy' to literally everyone, given that his older brother, Vine, was already a famous explorer. Of course, Spruce used to go on explorations with Vine, and was around when his team, known as 'Team Wildvines' was formed, and Spruce was, in fact the first member to actually join the team, aside from Vine himself, however... Vine, with his strange moveset and strange type would always say "I've got this, bro.", leaving Spruce to never fight, and to simply stand there, twiddling his leaf ends until the fight was over. As a result, he never got any experience from fighting with Vine, and eventually, Vine found stronger friends, and friends with better types than Spruce. After that, Vine would always leave Spruce at home, and with his parents always trying to find a way to make money, poor Spruce was always left alone at home, with nobody to talk to but himself. He used to leave on his own outings, but Spruce's parents found out when Spruce came back with scratches, bruises, and cuts all over his body as a result. After that, he was forbidden to leave the house unless VIne, or, really, anyone else was there with him. Spruce was stuck and home and bored until his parents let him stay at Arnold's guild, where, at the very least, there were other pokemon. He got along rather well with the others, save for the fact that he was universally known as 'Vine's little brother' instead of his name, over there.
Then, the day finally came when Vine disappeared. Spruce, taking this opportunity, decided to quit his old team, and form a new one called 'The Odd Ones Out', which stayed true to him being the perpetual loser on his old team, however... nobody else joined. He was now alone on his own team, which wasn't any better than back at home, and worse still is that everyone, in the panic of losing their greatest hero, would always ask if Spruce knew where Vine was. Spruce would always answer the same way "How should I know? I'm not connected to him by the hip, you know." Spruce had to exit the guild just to get away from all the noise and all the questions, however, Allure Town wasn't any different. It may have been even worse with some Wildvines team members running around, asking everyone if they know where Vine went... of course, nobody, not even Spruce had any idea... and yes, they asked him daily. In fact, he had to go to town that day, because the guild seemed to have known just how weak Spruce was, and had him deal with non-exploration jobs such as checking the banana stock in the local shop, or asking if the townsfolk would like a new bridge here, or a new building there, or even just asking what everyone thought of the guild in the first place... it was awful for Spruce. Of course, that only lasted for a couple weeks, and then they got a new recruit in the guild, and a bunnelby, no less! Finally, someone ELSE to take those mundane jobs of boringness, and someway for Spruce to finally be able to be out on his own!
And, after the initial excitement of that, as well as loads of pokemon asking where Vine was, the number of which only seemed to grow with time, rather than shrink, as you'd expect it to, Spruce finally made it to the mission boards... though... um... there appeared to be two of them, and worse? He had no idea which job to deal with as his first exploration job. It had to be easy, but he didn't want it to be boring, he's already had enough of boring for one lifetime... but... which one? Spruce ended up pacing between the two boards for an entire day, unable to decide what job to take out of sheer over-excitement and indecisiveness, making that a completely wasted day. That day, Spruce wouldn't even eat the dinner that the guild chef has prepared, lost in thought over which job he should take the next day, and how he should take it... there were a couple of outlaws which seemed to be at about Spruce's level, however, there were also a couple ones which related to Spruce's original hometown, Birchwood Forest. Spruce wanted to get rid of one of the criminals, but he also wanted to visit his old home, again. Sure, it was a mystery dungeon, by now, and he'd probably have to fight whatever family members were left behind when Vine wanted everyone to move out of the place, such as his cousin, Ivy, but it would be very nice to visit the place again... that place always seemed to calm Spruce, even if everything in there was hostile, now.
Appearance: There is nothing notable about Spruce's appearance, yet.
Differences: The only difference, thus far, is that Spruce's appearance will not change through evolution.
Hm... I think that app's acceptable, what do you think, Kabling?
Acceptance is a privilege.
It means you're accepted.
