I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaack! Ah it feels good to be with my computer again. I would like to thank Oregan for his patience with me and my holiday. I can have my SU up pretty soon. Maybe I could join the RP and say hi to a couple of other characters anyway...

MY SU!!!
Spoiler:
Name: David Harrow
Age: 19
Trainer Class: Elite Four
Blood Type: AB+
Ethnicity: English
Favorite Color: "Blue. No wait yellowaaaaaaaargh." (Sorry for the Monty Python Quote, but you were asking for it). His real favourite colour is green.
Birthplace & Hometown/Region: Sootopolis City, Hoenn
Physical Appearance: David is fairly ordinary as looks go. He isn't particularly good looking but neither is he completely ugly. He has black hair that he keeps cut short. His features are sharp and unreadable. His skin, originally a pale white, is slightly tanned and weather-beaten because of the travelling. David's dark green eyes are the window to his soul. His face rarely expresses emotions but his eyes show what he is feeling.
He is in good shape due to lots of travelling. He has wider than average shoulders and has great upper body strength. He has a high endurance and spends three days a week training to keep himself in shape. David is 5'10" and weighs about 182 lb. He relies on his legs for his main mode of travel although if he wants to go somewhere fast he will use Sash.
Apparel & Accessories: David wears a dark green, short-sleeved t-shirt and sometimes wears a black sleeveless jacket over it. He wears a pair of faded blue jeans with a black belt. The belt holds his team of pokemon although Sliver usually travels outside his pokeball.
Personality: David is a quiet and alert individual. He is lenient with those he meets and will never force them to do something. He often gives advice that he thinks might help but will allow everyone to make their own mistakes if they so wish. He has very weak emotions and it takes a lot of work to make him emotional. Because of this most of his actions are governed by rational thought.
When he does get emotional, David does tend to get carried away by them and it is difficult to derail him. David has a philosophical outlook on the world. He believes that everyone should have the freedom of the world as long as it does not breach other people's freedom. He does not tolerate bullies for this reason.
David has one fear. He is scared of dark water because of his childhood escape. It was both the most frightening and the most important decision he made in his life. For David dark water symbolises the unknown in front of him and the unknown around him. David prides himself on knowing what is going on around him and the thought of not knowing anything makes him uncomfortable.
History: David grew up being in Sootopolis City and is a very good swimmer because of it. He can hold his breath underwater for long enough to exit the city. Because of the environment he grew up around, David doesn't like either water or fire pokemon. They were in great abundance and he has vowed to never use one in his team.
David is the middle of five brothers and is at the moment, the best trainer of them. His oldest brother, John, is a breeder and sent David Sliver. John is now 25 and has a small house where he breeds Munchlax and Eevees. He also trains pokemon for a few trainers that ask him to. David's other older brother was the intelligent one and works as an intern for Silph Co. David's immediate younger brother disappeared a few years ago and has vanished from official records. David thinks he has joined Team Rocket but cannot be sure.
David's parents own a small plot of land and a farm. Their main produce was crops that flourished on the fertile volcanic soil. They have a small orchard too, which they grow berries in. They do steady trade with co-ordinators who look for the berries to make poke-blocks. David's youngest brother still works there, looking after the Tauros and keeping the Miltank healthy. He aspires to become a worker at pokecentres around the world. David is the only one who went on the proper trainer journey.
David started his journey by leaving his parent's farm at the age of 13 and swimming through the underwater entrance. He swam long distances during the day and slept on small islands on the way. He checked his direction on the way with his pokegear. He swam for about a month and arrived on the coast of Lilycove City. He spent a few weeks wandering with no pokemon. He came across an egg after about a month. From then on he sought out a town to keep the egg safe. He arrived in Lilycove city again and spent a few nights in the pokecentre.
After some time Maro hatched and sparked the light of adventure in David. This brought his love of rare pokemon to fruition. He spent two years collecting a team of three rare pokemon. Then moved to Jhoto. With Maro, Oro and Shift David took the first few gym leader badges. By the time he won all badges his team was 5 strong. He went on to reach the final two of the Jhoto pokemon league. When he lost that match it was because his team wasn't good enough and was only 5 strong. This didn't bother him and he was happy that they made it to the top 2.
He did this at the age of 16. He spent the next two years working on picking up the Hoenn badges and building the strongest team he could. His pokemon were the best he had encountered and worked perfectly as a team and as individuals. He also took the opportunity to try out a contest. David found contests showy but he realised how that kind of moves could turn out to be effective in battles. With this in mind he went on to win the Hoenn League.
After that he spent the next year travelling back around Jhoto and Hoenn, catching up with some of his old friends and family. Then David returned home to Sootopolis City and the farm. He spent a week happily relaxing at home before a letter arrived about the Almia Elite Four. He took a week to get ready for the journey before leaving. His journey continues…
Goals: David has completed his life's goals. He escaped his boring childhood, competed and won in a league and collected a team of rare pokemon. All he wants now is to maintain his current life, teach younger trainers and increase the rarity of his team.
Starter: Riolu
Years champion: Jhoto (2nd place), 3 years ago. Hoenn, 1 year ago
Type: David specialises in rare pokemon. They are shiny and/or difficult to find pokemon.
(Optional) Winning Reward: David gives away a small carved ice statue created by Shift and Hatchet.
Pokemon Team
Species: Lucario
Nickname: Maro
Gender: Male
Extra info: Maro is a calm and quiet pokemon. He was raised by David from an egg and was the first pokemon David had. He is also the reason that David trains only rare pokemon. Maro is David's most trusted companion and can sometimes make a move before David says it.
Species: Shedinja
Nickname: Oro
Gender: Genderless
Extra info: Oro is the result of an incident with a bad trainer who mistreated his nincada. The nincada evolved into a ninjask against its trainer's wishes. The trainer was beating his new ninjask when Oro appeared out of nowhere. The Shedinja quickly stopped the trainer and would have seriously injured the boy if David hadn't intervened. Oro is now the most aggressive of David's team.
Species: Castform
Nickname: Shift
Gender: Female
Extra info: Shift was an interesting find. David didn't have a very large team of pokemon at the time and so was unable to prevent some poachers from stealing some Castform eggs when the parents were away. Shift was the mother. With the help of Shift David saved the eggs before they were sold. During that short adventure Shift became part of David's team.
Species: Sandslash (Shiny)
Nickname: Hatchet
Gender: Female
Extra info: Hatchet was an unusual find. She was a Sandslash when David found her. David met her in the sandy plains of the Safari Zone. She was buried in the ground, her red spines sticking out into the sun. David only realised she was there when he accidentally stood on one of her spines. She put up quite a fight in the conjured sandstorm but when David sent out Oro, Hatchet couldn't deal any damage to him.
Species: Salamence
Nickname: Sash
Gender: Female
Extra info: David got Sash in a trade with another trainer. Sash was a Shellgon when she was traded and has become David's friend and secondary mode of transport. She is also his powerhouse. She is usually sent out in the middle of a match.
Species: Eevee (Shiny)
Nickname: Sliver
Gender: Male
Extra info: Sliver is David's most recent pokemon. He was given to David by his oldest brother who is a pokemon breeder. Sliver is the only pokemon David owns that he doesn't send into battle. Sliver is a happy and energetic pokemon. He has a very curious personality and likes to explore. His lack of experience means that he sometimes wanders into dangerous places without knowing it.
Cya sometime,
