Male // 40 // Breloom
The years have not been too kind to Takehiko. Ever since he left his hometown of Shiraroka he's been more or less always caught in a fight somewhere. His cap has been the victim of more than one strike, and even though it tends to heal better than the rest of his body it has gained a few scratches and scars from constant abuse. Somewhere along the line he hurt his left eye, and tend to keep it bandaged unless he absolutely needs it. Aside from wanting to spare people from having to look at an ugly scar, his eye is also sensitive, having lost it's ability to adapt to light as quickly as his other one.
Aside from his physical imperfections, Takehiko is relatively normal for a Breloom. He's always been on the small and slender side, but he packs as much power as any other member of his species. He carries around a walking stick although his legs work perfectly fine. Habits gained while walking the lonely roads are hard to forget, and it sometimes causes enemies to underestimate him.
Takehiko is a wanderer at heart. Ever since he was denied a position from the Shiraroka Noble Guard he's been wandering from one location to another, looking for whoever has a problem some muscle can solve. He's occasionally stayed in one location for an extended period of time, be it seeing a long-term project to completion, particularly friendly townsfolk, or drinking himself stupid with other mushroom Pokemon (despite the painful flaws). But still, he always wanders off.
His wandering hasn't dampened his spirit though. With the worst of his life over with, he had plenty of time to take in the beauty of the world. Be it natural wonders or culture, he's explored it and wrote a little on it. He's no expert poet by any stretch of the imagination, but sometimes the words just flow to him.
He's picked up the Hotchiku as a way to pass the time. A little musical talent never hurt.
Patience is a virtue to him, he's waited long enough to find out what he wants, he can wait a little longer.
He always strives to do what's right, even if it makes him unpopular. There's just too much beauty and talent in the world to just let bad things happen just because. He's steadfast in his decisions, be it turning down wealth in exchange for causing suffering, betraying someone's trust in him, or giving someone a better chance for the life they deserve. It's this drive that pushed him towards the Guild, and why he somehow finds his way back each time he tries to quick. Maybe this is what he was meant to do all along?
Takehiko spent most of his life fighting, and it's something he's always considered himself good at. While other Pokemon favor flashy, powerful moves, Takehiko sticks to the basics he's drilled over and over again. His mastery over
Technician makes his basic attacks hit nearly as hard as those flashy moves.
His preferred moves are:
Mach Punch // Counter // Helping Hand // Force Palm // Mega Drain // Feint
1) Somebody calls you ?weird but funny.? How does that make you feel?
A lot of people probably think I'm weird. Never bothered me really. Funny would be a new one, maybe someone finally gets my sense of humor.
2) The road forks to the right and left. You are told there is a treasure on the right. What do you do?
The right. Vague promises of treasure sounds like a trap. If it is a trap I can clear it before someone gets hurt.
3) Spring, summer, fall, or winter? Which season do you like best and why?
Fall. It's a time for change and a time to think about the hardships ahead. That and it makes the road awful pretty while traveling.
4)When it?s all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?
I'd hope my actions spoke louder than my words.
5) What makes you special?
I'll have to get back to you once I figure it out myself.
