[PKMN FULL] The Shattered Era: OOC

Name (Self-explanatory.): Ragnorak

Age (For Knights the age range can be from 15 to 35. For Mechanists the age range can be from 18 to 55): 34

Gender (Self-explanatory.): Male

Pokemon Species (What are you?): Charizard

Job Title: Knight of Oran

Appearance: Ragnorak is rugged, even for a Charizard. His entire body beneath his armor is coated with scars from past battles, and his left wing is a bit tattered from previous fights. The upper half of his left horn is torn off and his left eye has a scar running over it. I suppose his general appearance could be entitled, "The Veteran." Years of service has left his body strong, but steady. The normal orange of a Charizard is replaced by a deeper shade of red, the light blue of wings replaced by a darker shade, almost black. Ragonorak's flames are a bit brighter, and larger, than most other Charizards'.

Despite his battle-scarred body, it is almost never visible underneath the heavy, black steel-plated armor he wears. A heavy breastplate sits across his chest, covering his entire stomach, chest, and parts of the back, save for the area around the tail and wings. His wings are shrouded with a light cover of chain mail. Wrist guards run along the back of his claws and arms and come to a halt right before his shoulders. His legs are relatively non-existent, with greaves covering them as well. Ragonorak's helmet is the most notable feature on his body. It forms to fit his head perfectly, and it seems that it is impossible to take off, although it isn't. A metal layer covers the upper part of the skull with the exception of his eyes, and a metal layer lays across the line of his bottom jaw.

Personality (Two paragraphs at least required. I consider this a very important section so make sure to flesh yourself out. If I feel that your character is not fleshed out then I will make sure to inform you of what you should add. It is highly recommended that you add in religious beliefs, talk about how they act toward those in the other side of the war, and their own beliefs in how the war should be carried out.):

History (From childhood to where you are now. If you have an questions about specific ways a child is raised in the civilizations then feel free to PM me.):

Moveset (Only four moves. Mechanists can learn TM and HM moves.): Dragon Claw, Fire Fang, Dragon Dance (Egg Move), Outrage (Egg Move)

Roleplay Sample (Has to be at least two paragraphs, but you can do one of the following. 1) You can lift a rp sample from another roleplay and slap it here or 2) If you don't have a sample such as that, you can just make a small post as your character. It's none canon and will simply serve to show off your rping skills. Not only that but it'll give Bastian and I a quick view into how well you can rp.)

Name: Franco Newman: Refers to himself as "Monster" when angry.

Age: 34 (Will retire soon.)

Gender: Male

Pokemon Species: Charizard

Job Title: Knight of Oran

Appearance: Franco is rugged, even for a Charizard. His entire body beneath his armor is coated with scars from past battles, and his left wing is a bit tattered from previous fights. The upper half of his left horn is torn off and his left eye has a scar running over it. I suppose his general appearance could be entitled, "The Veteran." Years of service has left his body strong, but steady. The normal orange of a Charizard is replaced by a deeper shade of red, the light blue of wings replaced by a darker shade, almost black. Franco's flames are a bit brighter, and larger, than most other Charizards'.

Despite his battle-scarred body, it is almost never visible underneath the heavy, black steel-plated armor he wears. A heavy breastplate sits across his chest, covering his entire stomach, chest, and parts of the back, save for the area around the tail and wings. His wings are shrouded with a light cover of chain mail. Wrist guards run along the back of his claws and arms and come to a halt right before his shoulders. His legs are relatively non-existent, with greaves covering them as well. Franco's helmet is the most notable feature on his body. It forms to fit his head perfectly, and it seems that it is impossible to take off, although it isn't. A metal layer covers the upper part of the skull with the exception of his eyes, and a metal layer lays across the line of his bottom jaw. His emerald is embedded on the crown of his helmet.

Personality: Franco is a walking contradiction. Although he is unbelievably loyal to the Knight's cause, he sees good in the Mechanists' movement and believes that if the two opposing forces work together, they can solve any problem they come across. Sadly, his superiors don't appreciate that sort of thing. Despite his battle-worn appearance he is quite intelligent and peaceful. He disapproves of combat in any form and is always looking for ways to end things without bloodshed. He does, however, know that that can't always be done. This Charizard is quite friendly, kind, and, although without a sense of humor, entertaining in a way. If Pokemon could have OCD-like tendencies, then Franco would have OCD. He's terrified of disorganization, and will feel the uncontrollable urge to spend hours cleaning a single mess if he feels it's out of place. Although social, he isn't very good with social interaction. Many times has he ended conversations with the words, "I think Arceus is calling me. Better go." And since the topic is there, he is very religious. Franco loves the thought of Arceus, and Ho-Oh, for his peaceful ways, and absolutely worships them, although he doesn't see Arceus' reason to hate the Mechanists.

Franco has a wife and two children back in Markus, and he cares deeply for them. Other than his father's wish, they are his only reason to continue fighting in the war. He wants to see a world safe for them and, for their sake, demands that he bury his anger once he retires. If he could make it home to them to help provide and care for them, his life will be happy once more.

His peaceful ways are always there...Until he gets angry. If Franco is driven to the point of anger by anybody he will release his full power on that person and his/her associates, and his fuse is shorter than he would like to admit. All remorse, kindness, and mercy flees from his body in an unnatural speed. He more-or-less becomes a berserker, and loses all signs of intelligence. His only drive is to destroy. He hates becoming angry, completely aware of the transformation, and tries to do everything he can to avoid unlocking his true inner power. He blames the blood of dragon's within him for his short temper, seeing as his father, a Dragonite, was the exact same way. He fears that, if unchecked, he could kill dozens of enemies and allies alike in one battle. It is difficult, but he has managed to suppress his anger when he feels that it would endanger people he cares about. For this very reason, he stays out of battle if possible. He fights, but he does so with as much mercy as he can muster, usually aiming for non-lethal blows if he can.

History: Born in Swine, Franco's father, a Dragonite, and his mother, a Charizard, were both knights. They were both retired by the time he was born. As a child his parents denied him the right to go play with "Commoner Children", seeing as both of his parents were accomplished Knights, once upon a time, and he hated it. He watched other kids play with envy when the family would visit other towns. He wanted to be a part of their games and mock battles more than anything, but still his parents denied him. He was, instead, subjected to physical training, studies on the legendary Pokemon, and drills on the Knight's Code.

Franco's mother, who was more on the extremist's side, hated the Mechanists with a passion and attempted to drill in "They're evil" as much as she possibly could. His father, however, was gentle, kind, and compassionate, and tried to teach him not to hate anybody. He could see his mother's reasoning, but his father seemed to be right. He began to take his father's philosophy. "Remember, Franco, to always show compassion, bravery, and mercy. Never kill if you don't have to. It's wrong to slaughter those who seek to defend their ways. You're a good boy...Daddy loves you."

At the age of 10, Franco took to training under his father instead of his mother. His father became his role model and mentor and personally oversaw his son's training. He even taught him the move Dragon Dance when he evolved into a Charmeleon at age 16. The pair soon began to get into the advanced combat that Franco was destined for. Once during a particularly straining training exercise, the Charmeleon grew angry and grew a red aura. His father knew exactly what was happening, but couldn't stop him in time. The Charmeleon began to lash out at every one of the trainers around him, crippling all but his father, whom he killed. When the Outrage ended he had no clue what had gone down. He looked at the trainers and his father's body and began to cry, asking what happened. When it was revealed that he killed them, he began to cry even more and locked himself in the family's barracks.

Franco refused to come out for days, but his mother eventually coaxed him out. She told him that it was his father's dragon blood that caused him to kill everyone. He had learned the move Outrage because his father was a Dragonite. Although it was true, Franco refused to believe that it was his father's fault. He began to train even harder as he went on, both denying his mother's training and staying with the trainers that he had crippled. At the age of 18, he became a full-fledged knight.

Franco's career in the knights has been a successful one. He mainly carried out the lesser tasks, such as silencing the random Mechanist scout or something to that effect. He didn't participate in full-out battles until he was age 26, when he evolved into a Charizard. The new form boosted his power by a significant amount, making him a fearsome opponent on the battlefield. He then received his suit of armor, and many began to secretly call him, "The Wings of Darkness." When he was 30 years old he met his wife, a Goodra named Cecily. Together they had a Charmander son named Bruno. He has been serving as a messenger, air support, and, in rare occasions, as a full-out soldier since then.
