I promised to getting around to doing Yoshiya's SU yesterday, but McAfee slowed down my computer, so... >.> By the way, Yoshiya is an alias, so...
Name: Gabu Zakuro Doku, alias is Yoshiya Kaitou
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: Standing at roughly 6 feet and weighing a not unreal weight, Gabu is heavily built. However, despite his appearance, Gabu prefers not to participate in any form of physical activity. Gabu's face is standard (zitless, moleless, etc.), and has dark gray-blue eyes. His hair is a dolphin gray, and is pulled back into a short ponytail. As for his attire, Gabu tends to dress a bit like, well...a girl. It's not exactly crossdressing, but at the same time, he isn't exactly dressing like a guy.
Gabu usually wears a blue-and-gray kilt, seeing how he has an interest in foreign culture, and a gray sweater to match it. He wears white sneakers, and occasionally puts on a purple bandana on his head, or around his neck. Gabu does like jeans, though, and will put on blue ones when he feels like it. To match those, he adds on a white blouse, being somewhat feminine but at the same time not exactly that way. He always keeps his sneakers and bandana, but will sometimes take both off if he wishes to go swimming.
Personality: Gabu seems to lead a perfectly carefree life. Anyone who gets to talk to him likes him, and he gets cut a lot of slack because of his overly optimistic attitude. Gabu also tends to shrug off any sort of problem thrown at him, or solve it in an ever-so-fashionably-cool way. However, Gabu in fact is rather pessimistic. Deep inside of him he is at the point of hitting rock bottom, and rather hates life itself. This could be because of his harsh past. In reality, his cool demeanor is just a thick coat to protect Gabu from getting overwhelmed and showing his true personality.
Background: When Gabu was first born, it was discovered that he had a slight birth defect. Much like Rena, he was diagnosed with bilateral radio ulnar synostosis, where bones were fused on both his elbows, causing him to only turn his arms a specific way. It was also predicted that he would get some of the deadliest diseases later in life. Being born to a couple of perfectionists, Gabu was then treated miserably by his parents, often telling him they wish he wasn't born to them.
After a certain traumatic event Gabu experienced with his parents involved, he ran out of the house to a much safer environment. Throughout his journey (he was probably around 12 when he first left), he managed to find, catch, and train quite a few Pokemon, ones he considered his closest - and only - friends. As he went on in such a pointless quest, he came across PXS. There they asked him to join them, not knowing that he had Pokemon. Seeing how he had nowhere else to go, and that they seemed to accept him despite his "defect", Gabu accepted.
Much like Rena, he has been able to keep his Pokemon a secret. As of now he is situated someplace far off from Frosty Gorge, but after hearing of Rena's capture (which won't be mentioned until he's accepted in this RP), he has been debating about going out to save her, for he knows she had the same "defect" and also kept Pokemon with her.
Additional Information: Gabu likes to actually sew, and he's quite good at it.
RP Sample: Do I HAVE to again? XD
Pokemon:
Nickname: Persephone
Breed: Bastiodon
Gender: Female
Moves: Metal Sound, Iron Defense, Ancientpower, Flash Cannon
Appearance: Persephone has a small chip in her head right down the center, forming a perfect equilateral triangle.
Personality: Persephone is rather a bit headstrong, not just because of her breed, but because of her master. Thanks to him, this Bastiodon has tried her hardest to work at 110 percent to win battles. She also may be a bit rash at times, but that isn't something that happens often.
History: Persephone was the first Pokemon Gabu managed to catch. While still a Shieldon, Persephone tried to attack Gabu, but he was able to counter with his legs, the strongest part of his body. After a while, the Shieldon fell ill, and Gabu took it under his care to heal. After she was fully healed, Persephone stayed by Gabu's side, and when she evolved, chose to be a shield if anyone without a Pokemon tried to attack.
Additional information: Persephone is Gabu's most trusted partner.
Nickname: Hades
Breed: Rampardos
Gender: Male
Moves: Screech, Head Bash (if too poweful, then Assurance), Endeavor, Zen Headbutt
Appearance: Hades's head spikes are a bit larger than those belonging to a regular Rampardos
Personality: Hades has the same personality as Persephone. He's headstrong, and that's also all thanks to his master. He tries to give everything 110 percent much like Persephone, and he can be a bit short-tempered at times, but only when he gets really ticked.
History: Gabu's second Pokemon. With the help of Persephone and her strong Steel moves, Gabu managed to captured Hades while he was still a Cranidos. Although originally Gabu just wanted to train Persephone, he found the Cranidos to be quite a powerhouse during the time Persephone was fighting with him, and instead chose to capture this Pokemon to train alongside Persephone.
Additional information: Gabu's second most trusted Pokemon, and Hades also is good friends with Persephone.
Nickname: Aphrodite
Breed: Rapidash
Gender: Female
Moves: Poison Jab, Megahorn (else it'd be Stomp), Bounce, Flamethrower
Appearance: Actually, Aphrodite is shiny. EXCEPT... She is based on the shiny Rapidash of Crystal, which has purple flames rather than gray ones like in the later games.
Personality: Aphrodite is very self-centered, often keeping away from the rest of the team. However, she does seem to lok up to her master, and also tries to keep a headstrong attitude when it comes to battling.
History: Gabu came across Aphrodite while traveling through a wasteland sort of area. Seeing the beautiful Ponyta, and recognizing its different color, Gabu sent Hades to capture it. However, Aphrodite became quite elusive and would continue running away when Gabu tried to catch her. Finally, Gabu managed to sneak up behind her while she was grazing on a small clump of grass the wasteland seemed to have, and catch her.
Additional information: Nope
Nickname: Athena
Breed: Alakazam
Gender: Female
Moves: Calm Mind, Psychic, Miracle Eye, Recover
Appearance: Her eyes are actually red, much like the shiny Crystal sprite of Alakazam
Personality: A very wise member of Gabu's party, Athena tends to stay away from battles, unless completely necessary. She seems to like to meditate whenever sent out.
History: Another elusive Pokemon, Gabu had trouble catching Athena while she was still an Abra. Finally, after many days of chasing her down, Gabu caught her. However, it was discovered after she evolved that her eyes were a different color than a regular Kadabra's, though it didn't matter to Gabu. And, after just giving the Kadabra to a random person, Athena evolved. Gabu proceeded to snatch the Alakazam afterwards, but returned the Pokemon that person had given to him.
Additional information: Nope
Nickname: Artemis
Breed: Dragonair
Gender: Female
Moves: Dragon Dance, Dragon Rush, Aqua Tail, Slam
Appearance: Artemis has a crescent moon-shaped birthmark on her forehead
Personality: Artemis is quite shy. She tends to hide from the rest of Gabu's team, though she stays with her twin whenever possible. She does like Gabu, though, and seems to be a bit unsure of Aphrodite.
History: Found abandoned with her twin, Gabu noticed the two Dratini had odd birthmarks. He chose to keep them by his side, and as of now has had them for quite a bit. He is unsure whether to evolve either or not, mainly because Dragonair seem to be a lot cooler to him than Dragonite.
Additional information: Her twin is Apollo.
Nickname: Apollo
Breed: Dragonair
Gender: Male
Moves: Agility, Thunder Wave, Twister, Dragon Rage
Appearance: Apollo has a sun-shaped birthmark on his forehead
Personality: Apollo, unlike his twin Artemis, is very outgoing. Of all of Gabu's team, this Dragonair seems to be the one who took on most of his master's pesonality cloak. He seems to hang with Artemis a lot, and won't battle unless it's aside Artemis, which is how she feels too.
History: As mentioned in Artemis's history, Gabu found Apollo abandoned alongside his sister. Seeing how the two were basically inseperable, Gabu made sure that in any double battle the two fought together, especially after discovering that they hated to fight alone. Gabu also seemed to keep Apollo's moveset weaker than Artemis's, though the reason for that is unknown.
Additional information: Artemis's twin
Well, it's finished. Anything you need me to change (like the movesets), let me know.
