Name: Seth Cruz

Nickname: N/A

Age: 15

Sex: Male

Dorm: Entei Dorm

Appearance: Seth is 5'7" tall, with buzzed black hair. His complexion is fair, with piercing blue eyes being the highlighting feature of his face. Seth is well built, but a beat up leather jacket is always covering his physique. Beneath the jacket is usually a white or black t-shirt. In the jacket lining is space for his six Pokeballs. He is also usually clad in a pair of ripped blue jeans and sneakers.

Personality: A single word to describe Seth would simply be "competitive". Seth has always been raised with a battling mind in Pokemon, and pushes his Pokemon to be the best in that sense. He is outgoing, but often challenges others in a variety of ways (pokemon battles / races / etc). A flaw with Seth would that he can be too competitive which causes him to lose sight of the "big picture". He's also afraid of swimming.

History: Seth grew up in Cherrygrove City, with his mother and father. They lived a quiet life, and Seth was always watching Pokemon battles on television in order to become a Pokemon Trainer himself one day. When Seth applied for the Pokemon Trainer Academy and got accepted into the Entei dorm, he was overjoyed with himself. He was fully ready to go, except for one thing.

Seth never got to swim to the Island that was just outside of Cherrygrove City. Not knowing how to swim was something that probably had something to do with this, but he was determined to go see it before he left town. He waded his way out into the water and let the current take him away closer to the small island. However, things turned out for the worst as he started to sink and couldn't get back up to the surface.

The next thing he knew, he was washed upon the shore, by himself in the middle of the night. He wasn't sure what or who came and got him out of the water, or if he just washed upon the shore, but he never spoke a word of it and headed home and to bed. Before Seth left, his father gifted him with his Heracross and Machop in order to jump start Seth's journey at the Pokemon Trainer Academy.

Pokémon:

214.png

Species: Heracross
Nickname: N/A
Personality: Seth's Heracross is a very serious Pokemon. Loves to battle, no time to joke around. Doesn't get along too well with Seth's Machop because the Machop is much more outgoing and fun than the Heracross.
Lvl(Max Lvl 10): 9
Moves: Bide | Double-Edge | Bullet Seed | Night Slash | Tackle | Endure

Spr_4h_066.png

Species: Machop
Nickname(Optional):
Personality (Can be as short or long as you want, but cannot be excessively vague): Seth's Machop is much friendlier than the Heracross, almost acting as a foil to it. His Machop also enjoys battling, but not nearly to the extent that Seth's Heracross does.
Lvl: 8
Moves: Low Kick | Foresight | Karate Chop | Focus Energy | Close Combat | Bullet Punch

Opening Post:

WOOSH! WOOSH!

The sounds of the ocean waves crashing against the hull of the ship taking Seth Cruz to the Pokemon Trainer Academy filled the air around him as he gazed toward the island that seemed like it was hours away even though it was in his eyesight. Seth drew in a breath of deep air as he stood at the front of the boat, his hands firmly on the railing. He looked down and saw his white knuckles gripping the railing of the boat. Looking beyond the railing was the ocean, and the waves that crashed against the boat itself. He took a quick step back in order to calm himself.

"Nothing really has been the same since I almost drown" Seth thought to himself, as he took a moment to adjust to the rocking of the ship, as the waves have gotten a little more intense the closer to the Academy they get. He adjusted the black sunglasses that sit on his nose in order to scan the environment around him, and make sure that nobody saw through his composed facade. "I can't wait to be off this boat" he thought to himself.

Seth reached inside the pocket of his leather jacket and pulled out his acceptance letter to the Pokemon Training Academy. Reading through it gave him instructions on his to get to his dorm and what to do his first day on campus. It felt like forever since he left the ship from Cherrygrove City, passing the island which he almost drowned at on the way out was a surreal experience. There wasn't anything on the island itself, but Seth wanted to be there.

Maybe his competitive nature was just too much for him to handle at times.

With a few more hours until the ship landed at the Training Academy, Seth took the time to go back to his room and sleep off some of this seasickness before starting his journey at the Academy.

Name: Seth Cruz

Nickname: N/A

Age: 15

Sex: Male

Dorm: Entei Dorm

Appearance: Seth is 5'7", which is fairly average for his age. He sports a buzzed black haircut, and a fair complexion. The most noticeable feature on his face is his piercing blue eyes, which are an icy blue. He is usually seen in a black leather coat with a white t-shirt underneath. In the jacket lining is a place for all of his Pokeballs for his active party. He usually is wearing a pair of ripped blue jeans and sneakers.

Personality: If there was one word to describe Seth, it would simply be "competitive". Seth is always challenging himself and his Pokemon to be better in every way. He is a very hard battler (or so he thinks), and looks to always grow himself. He is outgoing and usually challenges others to Pokemon battles or other things (such as races) in order to make everything a competition. A flaw with Seth is that sometimes his competitiveness causes him to lose sight of the "big picture", and lose focus on his goals. Also, he's terrified of water.

History: Seth grew up in Cherrygrove City, where he lived for his entire life with his mother and father. He didn't venture out much, but despite the city not having a gym, he was always watching Pokemon battles on TV in order to figure out battle strategies for his eventual Pokemon training adventure.

He applied to the Pokemon Training Academy and was accepted into the Entei dorm, and Seth was extremely excited to go. However, he had never gotten a chance to get out to the island that was just outside of Cherrygrove City, so one night before he left, Seth decided that he was going to swim out to the island, despite not knowing how to swim. He waded into the water and was swept away into the current of the water.

The next thing he knew, he woke up on the shore, not knowing who or what drug him away and to safety. He went home and never spoke of it to anybody, and the question of what saved him was never answered.

A few days later, his father gifted him his Machop and Heracross to hopefully jump start his adventure at the Pokemon Training Academy.

Maybe his competitive nature was just too much for him to handle at times.

With the Island being at least a couple more hours away, Seth retired to his room on this ship in order to hopefully sleep off some of his seasickness.

Century Your SU is a little on the short side, but I'm happy enough with the quality to say you're accepted!

Wawi2018 The discord isn't mandatory, but you will be missing out on a lot by not being a part of it. As Junier said you'll be relying pretty heavily on the forums for OOC interaction with the other players so make sure to use them! Also, I'll do my best to make sure everyone is in a class they requested, but I also don't want to put people in classes by themselves. This may mean you end up in a class you didn't request (for that particular IC day) but I'll try to make sure it's still a class that makes sense for your character. You wouldn't be put into the Bug-Type Class if your character had no Bug Pokemon or no Pokemon with an type advantage or weakness to Bug types, as an example.

Hey, I'm back for good this time.

I totally apologise for poofing like I did, things got chaotic after I got better, and I kept hoping I'd be back before needing to post enough absence. Needless to say, I should have said something a long time back, and I kinda stayed away out of shame. I know it sounds melodramatic; anxious disorder ftl!

Anyway, I'm thinking about just starting over with a new character. Would that be okay?

The "move bank," by the way, is for keeping track of moves Kylie's partners have access to but haven't been officially incorporated yet in their movesets.

Might consider adding the friends/'dex entries in the future!

Hai, yus, I am HTS123.0, and I'd like to sign up! I'll be working on this in the next few hours!

EDIT 1: After a few hours of pretending to get things done I've managed to get the majority of the SU finished and choose a background that's a little less offensively bright.

EDIT 2: I've fleshed out personalities on both Harry and his Pokemon, and I've added the basics of his history. I'll fill it out and add the opening post next!


Okay, so I'm a fraud and decided to switch to a OPless SU template. I believe I am ready for review.
