This is my first RP here (I did a few back in an old forum, but not a big one), so sorry for any errors, or if I'm doing anything wrong. It seems a little short compared to everyone's, so sorry if it's too vague. One last thing, sorry for not posting this yesterday, the Wi-Fi was down :/
Name: Dave Mills
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Position: Engineer
Location: Hearthome City
Appearance: Dave is about 6"2, slim build, with long arms and legs. His hair is light brown-blonde, which is medium-long, either in a mess or covered by a variety of different styled of hats. He dresses quite odd, wearing a range of colours and styles, usually wearing a bright jacket with dark jeans. When working, he wears black overalls over his clothes, with his hair back in a black headband to keep it out the way.
Personality: Dave is usually quite loud and over the top when around his friends, although he is easily annoyed by people, and will not be afraid to tell people how he is feeling. Even though he is generally happy when he is with friends and enjoying himself, when alone or with unknown people, Dave is much quieter and reserved. Despite being a very creative person, he doesn't have much of a chance to show that in his work, so he chooses to express himself in his battling and training style, using his pokemon's strengths in ways most people wouldn't think of doing.
History: Dave got his first pokemon back when he was younger; it was a Cyndaquil he received from Prof. Elm back when he was in Johto, which he named Blaze.. After receiving his new Cyndaquil, Dave dreamed of becoming a great trainer, but sadly this would not be possible for him to do. He was born into a family of mechanics and engineers; his father was the head of a busy garage just outside town, which Dave was pressured into working in by his dad. Despite disliking his job, and wishing he was doing something more creative, he was very talented at what he did, which pleased his father but not him. Before he started in the garage, Blaze evolved into a Typhlosion, becoming very powerful and skilled in battle, and even falling in love with a Combusken, and producing eggs. When Dave's sister (Lea) decided to leave and go on a journey to the pokemon league, Dave decided to give his Typhlosion to her as a gift, as this way Blaze would have a chance to have a better life battling and doing what it loved, rather than being stuck in it's pokeball at home. His sister occasionally comes home to visit, which allows Dave to see typhlosion. Dave still works for his father, but still dreams of going on a journey with his pokemon. His Venomoth was released before Typhlosion was given away, to mate with a male Venemoth, it has not been since by Dave.
He still dreams today of going to college and studying art and music, as well as being a great trainer, but fears this would anger his father, and only cause problems. After hearing about the eevees from a close friend, Dave was fascinated, and decided to find out more about them.
Pokémon:
Name: Russ
Species: Aipom
Gender: Male
Obtained: Was a egg given to his father by a wealthy customer, who then gave it to Dave as he had no time to raise it.
Personality: Due to it being recently hatched, it is still young and moderately weak. It is also very mischievous, but Dave has been training it to help him do his work, which is going well. Despite the training, Aipom is still very playful by nature, and will happily play with any pokemon that he meets.
Physical: Russ' left ear has a small cut out of it, which was unexplained by nurses at the pokemon centre, but they claim it is nothing to be worried about and will do no harm. He also wears a neon yellow sweatband on his head, after he enjoyed playing with it after hatching.
Name: Voltz
Species: Electabuzz
Gender: Male
Obtained: Caught at the power plant while on a visit to Kanto several years ago.
Personality: Voltz is the loner of Dave's team, not spending much time with the others. It has proven to be very powerful in battle, and very good tacitly. He will only take orders from Dave, and does not like other humans.
Physical: Voltz looks like a regular Electabuzz, other than having no black markings on his head.
Name: Zap
Species: Magneton
Gender: N/A
Obtained: Zap was found as a magnamite on route 39 attacking a trainer and their fainted Mudkip, Dave battled it to defend the trainer and their injured pokemon, eventually deciding to catching it.
Personality: Before evolving, Zap had a very rash nature, frequently lashing out at Dave and his other pokemon. After evolving, Zap matured, and become much less rash, and no longer attacked Dave.
Physical: No difference to a regular Magneton.
Name: Tech
Species: Metang
Gender: N/A (Even though it doesn't have a gender, I'll refer to Tech as a male)
Obtained: When Dave was passing through Veilstone City, he saw a trainer coming out of the gym. The trainer released the Beldum, and walked away. Dave asked him what he was doing and he said it was a pathetic pokemon with no potential, and didn't deserve his training. Dave took Tech to the pokemon centre to be healed, and when Dave came to leave Beldum wanted to go with him.
Personality: Tech has a very playful personality, he enjoys playing with Russ, lifting him in the air with psychic and carrying him on his back. He is also very affectionate towards Dave, due to his previous trainer abusing him and releasing him. Tech is a very powerful battler since evolving, knowing many powerful psychic and steel attacks, often underestimating his own power in battle.
Physical: The usually red eyes of a metang are green in Tech's case, and the blue "metal" is a much darker blue.
Why should I choose you? Dave has excellent technical knowledge, as well as the creativity needed to overcome any challenge. He also has the commitment to finish any tasks given to him.
