Foreshadows of Hoenn [M][OOC]

Name: Patriot Skye Ravel
Sex: Male
Age: 16 (because I'm a rebel and it works better. dx)
Species: Rufflet
Tribe: Caerulus Tribe
Moves: Double Team, Roost, Sky Drop, Crush Claw, Shadow Claw
Profession: Hunter / Warrior-in-Training

Appearance:

Patriot looks very similar to a regular Rufflet, but his feathers are darker, the feather on his head is blue rather than red, and his eyes are blue. He also has tiny serrations on his remiges, much like an owl, allowing him to fly silently.

Personality:

"Rufflet are very powerful for their size, possessing great physical strength and a highly competitive nature." - "Rufflet will indiscriminately challenge foes to battle, even strong ones."

True to the nature of his species, Patriot can be incredibly reckless at times. Even so, he is kind, intelligent, and an apt learner. He's quick to speak up without thinking, and he never likes to sit still. He's energetic and curious, and sometimes his haste can make him a bit too blunt in his observations. Even so, Patriot is a kind soul, and almost too innocent for his own good. He is unversed in the ways of war, and he's never even witnessed intense bloodshed. So, while his intentions are just, he truly has little idea of what he's getting himself into when it comes to this war.

Patriot believes in truth, justice, and honor. These can be both good and bad traits. Throughout his life, Patriot has just naturally told the truth. This makes him both incredibly trustworthy, an inadequate spy, and a bit too forward when dealing with other beings. He believes that all living beings—both pokémon and humans alike—deserve help and fairness. He finds bullies intolerable, and he'll always fight for what he believes to be what is right, even if it means standing alone. This also allows him to see the good in people, even where most others would believe none would exist.

With other pokémon, Patriot is incredibly friendly and kindhearted. He believes everyone has goodness in them, and so he'll try to interact with anyone and everyone in an attempt to bring that goodness out. Sometimes—or, perhaps most of the time—this may make him come across as annoying and persistent. Even so, he continues to live his life in such a manner, determined to bring out the goodness in everyone, even if it causes them to hate him in the process.

In battle, Patriot is a fierce opponent. Being a Rufflet, his natural abilities and physical strength can prove overwhelming to most foes. Added with his previous encounters with various pokémon and many months of intense training, facing Patriot in battle can be a huge mistake for most. He's cunning and quick, able to ascertain his opponents' weak points surprisingly fast, as well as knowing how to take advantage of elemental relationships between pokémon and the environment that surrounds him. He is currently 'training' under an immensely powerful Staraptor known as Zephyros (Fenne-Kun), hoping to become just as powerful as him. He looks up to Zeph, and despite the Staraptor's many social flaws, he believes Zeph to be just as good as anyone—if not even moreso—deep down.
