Bam! It's a fish!
Not really, it's an SU.
Name: Zephaniah Xylon
Nickname: Zeph
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Zeph is roughly about six feet tall, and a little bit chubby, but thanks to his height, it's not as noticeable as opposed to if he was shorter. He keeps his dark brown hair short, about an inch long, because it's easier to care for and he thinks it looks better then the afro that would result from growing it out. He has a slight tan, because he is always outside reading, but it's barely noticeable, since he's usually in the shade.
Zeph's eyes are his most striking feature though. They are a sharp crystal blue in color, which, if he were to stare at someone intensely, would be rather intimidating. Most people he has met say that they are beautiful, but he prefers to cover them up with a pair of jet black, stream-line shades. If Zeph needs to see something that is far away, he will pull out a pair of plain glasses, because anything too far away from him becomes blury. As for clothing, Zeph always wares two shirts. The first is a red, sleeveless under-shirt with black thorn patterns running all over it. This is nice enough to ware without anything covering it. The second is a black dress-shirt, with a red Gyarados going from the bottom left side, around the back, and ending with the head on the top right. The pants he wares are an old, black pair of jeans. The bottoms of the legs are a little tattered. His shoes are a worn pair of light green, and white tennis shoes.
Personality:
Zeph is a rather shy guy, and doesn't really go out of his way to meet new people. He's also particularly shy around pretty much anyone of the opposite gender. This is mostly because he grew up in an area without many other kids around, so he doesn't really know how to make friends. He's also afraid he's going to embarrass himself. This can change under certain circumstances though. If for some reason he were to get overexcited, he becomes loud, rash and confrontational. He would gain a rather evil laugh, and be quite open with it. But that's only when he is overexcited. Normally he is very kind and caring towards the people he likes. He's also very loyal to, and protective of, his friends. His friends, which are back in Lavender Town, are so far the only people to be able to bring Zeph out of his shell.
When out of his shell, Zeph becomes his true self, which fit's his robust form. He laughs at anything that is even slightly funny, and does it with a loud, full body laugh. He also has a tendency to speak his mind, which can be good and bad. Blunt comments such as "I don't like you" are common. Oh, and Zeph is also a pyro. He likes fire a lot. Though once someone of the opposite gender approaches him he retreats back within himself.
History:
Zeph lived pretty much his whole life in a small house just outside Lavender Town. He wasn't poor, but his parents thought it would be easier to pay the bills if they had a small house. His mom was a priestess working in Pokemon Tower. It didn't pay much, but since his dad was a successful writer it didn't matter. Zeph was an only child, so while that made it easier to live, it also added to Zeph's antisocial nature. When he was younger Zeph would always play around in the hills around his house even though his parents told him not to. One day while Zeph was playing he was attacked by wild Gengar. The Pokemon appeared out of nowhere and started randomly using Shadow Claw. The Pokemon's eyes were blood shot, and it had a frown in place of it's normal smile. Zeph was saved by a wild Marowak, which later decided to become Zeph guardian. At first his parents were against letting her in the house unless Zeph caught, but he refused, saying that it would be wrong to catch her, and eventually they decided it would be okay. The Marowak soon became a member of the family, but was never actually caught by any of them. When Zeph heard about the call for trainers in Beklan, he immediately hoped on a boat in Vermillion City. Before he left he promised Marowak he would come back and get her when he became a powerful Pokemon trainer.
