Name: Ethan Therick
Nickname (Optional):
Age (10-13): 13
Sex (Male or Female): Male
Appearance (A picture can be provided instead of a description if you so wish.): Ethan is 5"8 and has dark, greenish-blue hair with bits of a light tan color at his ends. He has red eyes and white skin. He has blue hair growing on the back of his hands and on his neck. On his palms and either side of his neck, he has raised openings that resemble the shape of a crater.(The craters will be explained in his quirks). For clothing, he wears a black T-shirt and blue jeans, both torn and burnt horribly.
Personality (How does your character act and react to others? Their mental state? Flaws and/or personal weaknesses?): Ethan is a relatively shy and awkward person. When interacting with others, he'll generally try his best to either avoid combat, or long conversations. When speaking, he can sometimes begin to stutter as his nerves begin to tug on him. If forced into a combat situation, he'll generally hold back his power as much as possible unless it turns into a life-or-death situation. When it comes to friends, you'll generally find he doesn't have many. Being simply too afraid to speak to most people, holding any form of a relationship is relatively difficult. When he does get to know the person, however, he'll be relatively sweet. Despite his nerves, if someone he truly cares about is in danger, he'll do anything to save them.
History (Where did your character grow up? Who did they grow up with? What have the been doing before this? Any noteworthy events?): Ethan was born in Eterna city to a recently widowed mother. Just before he had entered the world, his father had been attacked by roaming bandits while scavenging for supplies outside of town and never returned. While growing up, he generally had it easier than most of the other children, despite not having a father. His mother was a brilliant survivalist and had managed to support Ethan for a good portion of his life. For most of his early childhood, he was traveling from ruined town to ruined town with his mother because she deemed it easiest to survive on the move, as opposed to living in one of the towns, most of which wouldn't allow them to stay together. Because of this, he rarely met with and interacted with other people, and those that he did meet were generally out to harm one or both of them, inducing a fear of people upon the child. One day, his mother, too left and never came back.
No longer having anyone to support him, he wandered off into the region, collecting what little supplies he could with his limited survival skills. Eventually, on the verge of death, he came across Mt. Coronet, where he acquired his Pokespirit, a cyndiquil. The change altered his hair color and added a couple of additions to his body, but for the most part, he remained the same.
He bonded with his Pokespirit, and through the mental link, it showed him how to survive in the wild, revealing to him the secrets that wild pokemon had used in the past to support themselves. Overtime, the two of them thrived together, living for the most-part away from what little civilization was left.
Pokéspirit (No legendaries. Alternate color schemes are allowed.)
Species: Cyndiquil
Nickname (Optional):
Personality (Can be as short or long as you want): Cyndiquil is a rather shy pokespirit, similar to to his partner, Ethan.
Moves (Maximum of 6. TM and egg moves are allowed. These are the moves your character gets when they fuse): Ember, Smokescreen and flamethrower.
Other (Optional): When Ethan becomes emotionally stimulated, smoke or even embers can erupt through the crater-like ports on the side of his neck depending on how strongly stimulated he was. The ports on the side of his neck can be used to cast smokescreen, and the ports on his hands are used for attacks such as flame-thrower. In the heat of battle, the ports on his neck are always alit with flame.
Opening Post (This will be what we use to determine whether your writing skills are good enough. If accepted, you may feel free to copy paste your post here into the IC thread.): Ethan slowly made his way out of the forest and into the remained of what was once Route 202, a few Oran berries clutched in his hand. Plopping himself down against a near-by tree at the edge of the road, he brought the berries in front of him and began to eat them as slowly as possible, savoring the taste.
They're getting scarcer around here....
Forgetting that the voice was within his head for a moment, he found himself startled and coughed up a bit of his meal, a puff of smoke erupting from the craters on his neck. Realizing that it was Cyndiquil, he quickly recovered himself.
D-Don't do that!, he mentally growled back before replying: Yeah....And the only town near-by is Jubilife, which won't exactly give us a warm welcome.
Debating back and forth with each other as to whether or not they should try to go, they eventually decided to consult the old map they had found amongst the ruins of Sinnoh. Finding Floaroma on the map, they decided to wait through night and sneak through Jubilife, and then head North towards whatever was left of Floaroma in the hopes of finding a better supply of food. Bunkering down behind a bush, they then began to await the night.
