I was going to edit the other post, but I said screw it after the replies.
Name: Malic Ragel
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Physical Description: Malic at a first impression is impressive, but only to a point. Standing at about 5"10, Malic sports a muscular body developed over the course of of nearly two decades of training. However, his muscles are more toned than bulky allowing him to have a high level of agility and speed on-top of his strength.
Examining his physical features, Malic's face is distinct for having almost child-like features. He has bright blue eyes that hide behind shaggy wholesome brown hair. His skin is fair with rosy cheeks that only small child would actually have. He remains clean-shaven to the best of his ability and his actual face has no real physical impurities other than a few cuts and bruises due to the natural environment and his intense training and a single scar running down from his forehead across his left eye down halfway through his cheek. This scar is a personal symbol for him and he sports it with a strange combination of pride and shame.
Malic's choice of clothing is what you would expect in a standard trainer, meaning they are piratical, functional and far from pretty. First and foremost, his torso is covered by a black slim fit t-shirt with a dragon design on the front and back. For further protection from the elements, Malic wears a Volkneresque jacket with a black base color and red accents on the sleeves and shoulders adding some character to the coat. The symbol of the Blackthorn Gym Bade is placed in the mid-back of the jacket. Fingerless worn leather gloves protect his hands however they are partially ripped and are reaching the end of their days. His jeans are the the standard denim color with some fading, however they retain their blue luster. They are kept in position by a black leather belt with a Blackthorn Gym Badge custom made buckle. Malic's shoes are of the Vans design complete with a black and red design to match his famed jacket.
Malic, of course, wears his own share of accessories to further decorate his already custom design. The most distinct accessory is his sliver chain necklace with the Blackthorn City badge acting as a pendant. To compliment the necklace, Malic has a sliver loop earring on his right ear and a sliver ring on his left hand. Underneath his clothing, Malic invested in body art. He has a series of tribal tattoos running down from his neck to the his hands on both arms. His back contains a design featuring two dragons combating each other and his chest as a Phoenix roughly where his heart is.
Personality: Malic is practically the definition of laid back, preferring to hold on to his "go with the flow" view on life which allows him to take on obstacles one by one. For the most part, Malic only has a few cares and concerns which allows him to remain focused on the one thing that matters to him: Pride. Malic takes great pride in his position as an elite Pokemon trainer and even greater pride in the history of Blackthorn and the trainers from it. Malic's pride stems from a long career mostly defined by success in Pokemon Battling. For the better part of his career, Malic has grew accustomed to success and as a result, he is confident in his abilities to succeed, and shockingly has not developed a massive ego.
In terms of social interaction, Malic acts on the border of being immature. He packs childish energy and is extremely talkative and outgoing. He almost always speaks his mind and is honest to a fault, typically annoying people in the process. Malic lacks raw intelligence as his only education was how to raise and battle Pokemon and lacks basic common sense at the same time. However, he is an expert on the aspects of Pokemon and is typically up to date on the latest events in the world due to his tendency to constantly check his iPhone. He is fiercely loyal to his comrades however and is capable of rising to the occasion if need be crediting the culture of Blackthorn for his heart and determination in times of need. Malic is a bit of a day dreamer and will zone out in times of peace, which becomes a major distraction during any sort of business. As a result, he typically needs someone to knock him back to earth.
Region From: Blackthorn City, Johto
Region Currently in: Meteor Falls, Hoenn completing his training and preparing for his departure to Evergrande City.
History: Born in the heart of Blackthorn City, Malic was raised by loving parents, his older brother and various members of the family on both sides. United, they were dubbed the Ragel Clan, which was known for a strange level of affinity for dragons that even high level Dragon trainers could not understand fully, to the point of extreme doubt. At an early age, Malic was exposed to the power of dragon Pokemon watching various training exercises between legends like Lance and Clair, but also sparring matches amongst the members of his clan. Experiencing these moments lit a fire in Malic's soul and fueled his desire, which up to this point wasn't sparked it, to become the greatest Dragon tamer of his generation.
At the age of 7, Malic begged his father for a Pokemon to help jump-start his quest. Normally these trainers either leave the town to receive their Pokemon from a licensed professional or go through a painful process to receive one from the higher ups of Blackthorn. These attainments of Pokemon usually occur between the ages of 10 to 14, however Malic's father found a loophole and immediately seized the opportunity. For Malic's 8th birthday, his father gave him a Pokemon from the distant region of "Hoenn". A Bagon to be precise. That gift was the beginning of a long history united by a shared passion.
For the next 6 years, Malic trained with Bagon in the most difficult of environments until they believed themselves to be ready for the outside world. Including epic rock climbs, survival contests and raw combat, the training brought these two to their limits. Upon Bagon's evolution into Shelgon, Malic believed himself ready for a continuation of their long journey. With a party set on the day before his departure, Malic left on a good note receiving many gifts and wishes. As a result of his confidence, Malic vowed not to return until he was proud of the man he became.
His first obstacle was the Johto and Kanto Leagues which became recently unified. While he only required 8 badges to enter the league, Malic with his typical youthful energy and optimisim decided that the full 16 would be more challenging and serve as a better mark of his strength. For the next 2 years, Malic traveled the regions, taking his time and making sure to cover every last bit of the regions for training and experience. At the age of 16, Malic entered the league with a team similar to his current one (Salamence, Charizard, Seadra, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, and Dewgong). He placed fairly well, losing out in the final round to an up and coming trainer from Pallet Town. The defeat however hit Malic hard and he decided a quick escape would calm his nerves.
The new destination was Sinnoh, where we spent the next 6 years of his life. The 6 years were full of intense training and hunting for the next components of his team. It was Sinnoh that his final team was constructed and it was in Sinnoh that he attained his highest levels of success. The diverse landscape served as his own personal gym and the competitive atmosphere fueled his training regime. In due time, he returned to the Pokemon League leaving as the victor of the tournament rounds only to combat the Elite Four and leave in defeat. While his second failure was not as surprising, it left a bad taste in his mouth.
Hoenn was the only region left the unconquered and much like Sinnoh, Malic spent the 6 most recent years in the heart of it. Instead of slowly progressively through the region, Malic rushed and attained the 8 badges as quickly as possible in order for him to spend the remainder of his 6 year tour in seclusion, in order to focus on training. To this day, Malic has spent his days in the depths of Meteor Falls alone in a world of concentration where dreams are in ones grasp.
Class: Master Trainer
Ability: Malic's only remote "ability" is his natural affinity for catching, raising, and battling with Dragon Pokemon due to his clan's long history and connection with dragons seems to be a "bloodline trait". This is seen with the power level his dragons contain within their bodies and the unity they have in battle.
Pokemon: Malic packs a full team of 6 as any skilled trainer would do.
Name: Mavis
Species: Salamence
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Mavis is known to have a certain level of intensity, much more than his lax master. Mavis is far more reckless, running headfirst into battles and improvising his every move and in a strange twist often leaves will a startling level of success. However, Mavis is always known for unwavering loyalty and obedience in situations that call for it. This makes Mavis not only a powerful but reliable member of Malic's team. In terms of appearance, Mavis is no different than a standard Salamence other than his larger build, standing at almost 6 feet and a distinct scar across his face, similar in form to Malic's.
Name: Kingdra
Species: Kingdra
Gender: Female
Description and Personality: Then only member of Malic's team without a name, Kingdra is the most generic and bland member of the team. Kingdra listens when called upon and has proven to be a consistent fighter with a solid win/loss record due to its ability to plan and predict the moves of the opponent. Kingdra has quickly become the most quiet member of the team to the point of freaking out the others, however Malic strongly favors Kingdra due to her strong mind and defensive type that allows for no weakness. To follow the generic trend of Kingdra, she has no distinct features.
Name: Skeletor
Species: Aerodactyl
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Quite possible the most brutal and evil member of the time, Skeletor is one of the most ferocious members of the team having a deep contest with Garchomp for holding onto the title of scariest member. A Pokemon notable for its close combat, up close style Skeletor became a fan favorite amongst Malic's team as its style brings lots of "Holy Sh@!" moments in competitions, as well for its deadly speed and strength at the cost of defense. Skeletor's physical features are distinct due to its heavy battles with cuts, scrapes and scars all over its body.
Name: Argos
Species: Garchomp
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Argos is one of the most recent additions and he has quickly established himself as a mainstay. Much like Skeletor, Argos is a deadly combatant known for epic, drawn out battles. Unlike his rival, Argos favors longer battles as it allows him to analyze the combat and use tactics within the battle using a combination of melee and ranged combat in order to systematically dismantle his foe. Garchomp has his share of battle damage however it is far less in amount and more concentrated on his fins.
Name: Atlantia
Species: Milotic
Gender: Female
Description and Personality: The youngest and most recent member of the team, Atlantia is also the most affectionate and docile member. Having a major crush on Malic, Atlantia is known for her desire for attention and to please Malic. She is also extremely protective and her battle prowess backs up her "bark." Atantia strongly favors long range combat and takes defensive maneuvers whenever the battle gets too close, making her a tactical, intelligent battler much like Kingdra. Her physical features are no different than other well groomed Milotics.
Name: Malfoy
Species: Charizard
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Malfoy is the proudest member of the team and one of the senior members, being with Malic since the beginning. An experienced battler, Malfoy is one of the most intelligent fighters capable of adapting to any scenario and fight at 100% in that scenario. Malfoy, despite his ego, is pretty calm and mellow outside of his boasting. His usage in battle has somewhat declined, however, he is known to train heavily so he is never out of practice.
