( Player Name ) : A nickname will work. Whatever you would like to be listed as.
( Personal DW ) : Not your character's journal. Your own, just in case one of the mods ever needs to contact you that way.
( Age ) : No players under the age of 15, please!
( Timezone ) : Just for reference sake!
( Other Characters ) : At Vatheon, that is. Please list in the following format.
Character ( Character's Journal ) | Series

☆ Character - - -

( Character's Name ) :
( Character's Age ) : There is no set age limit for the characters, and in fact, this is very flexible. So long as your character is mature enough to take care of him or herself and is mature enough for the game, they can be apped! As a basic guideline, think the maturity of someone around the age of 13 or so.
( Series ) :
( Canon Point ) : What part of the story of the series is your character coming in after? Did he or she just die? Did something traumatic just happen? Is it near the end, the beginning, or the middle? Tell us!
( Playability ) : If you are apping your second person for a particular canon, please give us a quick reasoning on why the characters would not be extensively interacting/how you are planning to avoid any playercest issues. If you are not apping from a canon you already play in, please disregard this section.

( History ) : You may provide us with a link to a wiki-page, or something else that will sufficiently give the Community and the mods background on your canon. If you wish to write out the history yourself, you still may do such.

( Personality ) : Probably the most important part of the application! Tell us what your character is like. We're looking for a well-developed analysis of the character. Perhaps between three to five paragraphs, roughly. Feel free to do more or less, however, if you think that better suits you. Most applications will be closer to the three than the five, and that's completely okay!

Just make sure to hit on crucial aspects of that character. What does he or she like? What does he or she hate? What are his or her motives? What parts of your character's past influenced how they are? Does your character act differently in front of different groups of people? Think of these questions as you write. Feel free to go off the page and focus on other questions. The above questions were just to get you thinking.

( Strengths/Weaknesses ) : So tell us! What can your character do well? What is your character weak against? Any cool spells? Good at picking locks? Anything you can think of, put it here.

( Other Important Facts ) : Have something else important to mention about your character that doesn't really fit in anywhere else? Be sure to include it here!

( Sample ) : This can be in first person or third person. There's no limit to your sample post. Just be sure to include your character's voice. Don't just write your character walking around! Be sure to include thoughts, quirks, and anything else that shows us you know your character. How would he or she react to the mark? How would he or she react to waking up some place new? Is he or she still brooding over something? The sample does not have to be set in Vatheon. You may also link to other roleplay threads; just be sure to give us something that shows how you plan to play them and clearly shows their voice! Or feel free to do a few of the above. Whatever you think will best show your characterization.

Please note! If you are linking samples, please make sure that at least one sample is from within the last three months. You are still free to link other samples that are older in addition, if you feel these would help show your ability to play the character, but at least one sample needs to be recent. Thank you.

If you are unable to think of a good starting point for a sample, we collected some prompts of situations that are pretty likely to happen within Vatheon to start you off. You are very welcome to deviate from these prompts or come up with something completely new. This is just something to hopefully help you get started:

☆ A new curse has settled upon the city of Vatheon: Suddenly you character realizes they are unable to lie for the duration of a week. How do they react?

☆ What is this? Is that rain? How nice-- wait a minute, is it raining rubber duckies? Seriously?

☆ Suddenly, by the force of Vatheon, an over zealous npc, or even your character's friends playing a joke, your character suddenly finds themselves wearing clothes they otherwise would never wear. What do?

☆ The city of Vatheon is under attack (again). Giant sea-creatures are wrecking the city (again). Time to prepare for battle.

☆ A new plot development has happened and your character has decided to get some more information from one of the NPCs. How do they proceed?

Brooklyn | Gargoyles

[dotthedisconnect]

☆ Player - - -

( Player Name ) : Aspen
( Personal DW ) : radio_aspen
( Age ) : 22
( Timezone ) : Eastern
( Other Characters ) : Tech E. Coyote | (dotthedisconnect) | Loonatics Unleashed

☆ Character - - -

( Character's Name ) : Brooklyn
( Character's Age ) : 36 (developmentally 18 in human terms) or 1036, depending on how you look at it.
( Series ) : Gargoyles
( Canon Point ) : Shortly following Brooklyn’s promotion to second-in-command of the Manhattan Clan (episode 31)
( Playability ) : n/a

( History ) :
Here.

( Personality ) :
Due to his (relative) youth and extended isolation from society, Brooklyn is terribly curious. He is interested in every aspect of the modern world, from culture to books to history, and even entertainment. He was gullible after first awakening, but this has lessened to some extent.

These traits stem more from his predicament as an outsider thrown into the modern world. As far as his actual personality, Brooklyn is caught in an interesting place between youth and adulthood. He can be impetuous, maybe a little cocky, and he makes mistakes, but he’s the most level-headed of the gargoyles he hatched with. He wants to prove himself as a capable individual, but he’s not above having a good time while doing it. Furthermore, At least some of his interest in the modern world comes from his belief in the need for his kind to adapt. Whatever his feelings for the “old ways,” he’s willing to put them aside when they seem counter productive.

In most cases, Brooklyn is the type to think before acting. He’s intelligent, he tries to be well-learned, and he has a natural penchant for strategy. Often, he acts as the voice of reason. The other side of this is that he can come across as detached, and not condescending so much as sardonic. Which is not to say that he isn’t friendly, but he has his moments. That, combined with a dry and sarcastic sense of humor.

This composure of his is far from perfect, however. If something manages to set him off, Brooklyn will throw caution (and any active plan) to the wind. He is aware of this problem, and it’s not something he’s proud of. In fact, he’s been known to empathetically speak against the trait when he sees it in others. Thankfully, it takes a lot to get under Brooklyn’s skin. He is somewhat sensitive about his appearance, but such jabs are more of an annoyance than something that enrages him.

Like most gargoyles, Brooklyn has a very protective nature. He values friends and family above most everything else, and he’s not too ashamed to admit it. His assistance isn’t limited just to these groups. Forbidding a strong reason not to do so, he will help anyone in need.

Also inherent to the gargoyle race is a proud warrior nature. Brooklyn is no stranger to combat, and militant discipline (when it’s needed). While he’s not fond of killing, it’s not something he would necessarily lose sleep over.

( Strengths/Weaknesses ) :
Gargoyles possess a number of natural weapons. Being nocturnal creatures, it comes as no surprise that they have excellent night vision. Their eyes are also capable of producing a bright glow. They have tougher skin and are typically much stronger than humans, although Brooklyn would be considered average for a gargoyle in this area. Their wings are not intended for flight, but they can glide very effectively, and are quite maneuverable in the air (and on foot, for that matter). They do not have fingers so much as claws or talons, and these are powerful enough to penetrate stone and some metals. Lastly, their tails function essentially as a fifth limb, being both powerful and tractable.

Brooklyn is a trained warrior. He understands combat and has been involved in more than his share. He is also a gifted tactician, a trait related to both his perceptiveness and ability to improvise.

Turning to stone during the day (referred to as sleeping) is as much a benefit as it is a curse, as it allows gargoyles to gather the amount of energy they need to survive (supplemented by the usual means; food, etc), as well as heal most injuries. However, they are completely helpless and vulnerable during the process.

Aside from that, Brooklyn’s biggest weakness is his own impulsiveness. It’s not exactly standard behavior, but certain things will trigger it, including but not limited to: anger, curiosity, and yes, even passion.

( Other Important Facts ) :
Within the bubble, the influence of sunlight will not be strong enough to trigger Brooklyn’s transformation, meaning he can be active at all hours. However, he will need to return to the island to rest during the day on a somewhat regular basis.

John Egbert | Homestuck | Reserved (1/2)

( Character's Name ) : John Egbert
( Character's Age ) : 13
( Series ) : Homestuck
( Canon Point ) : Act 6 Intermission 1, right after lobbing the bucket
( Playability ) : n/a

( History ) :
Homestuck on the MSPAwiki.

( Personality ) :
Like any number of teenaged protagonists in tales of fun and friendship, John Egbert is a quirky, fun-loving boy with a heart of gold. He has a fondness for pranks, magic tricks, terrible movies, and paranormal lore, though a rather intense dislike of baked goods. Specifically those bearing the Red Spoon of the Batterwitch (Betty Crocker) on their boxes. Overall, he tends to walk the path of the "nice guy" and can be described as easy going, agreeable, and more than just a little bit goofy. While at times he can say insensitive things, this is more due to his shortcomings in the concept of "thinking before you speak" than pure nastiness. In addition, like any normal person, if you push him enough he will drop the nice guy demeanor. Mostly this involves a bit of snark and blocking you on pesterchum.

Perhaps two of his most defining and best traits are his stalwart and nigh unbreakable optimism and his emotional fortitude. John is constantly looking for the silver lining in even the most hopeless of situations and he won't give up until he finds it. Even if he has to go through a hundred stupid ideas first, eventually he will figure something out. He is a seemingly endless fount of good cheer and positivity for those around him (save for the people who piss him off, like the trolls initially). Though he is an emotionally open character, John tries not to let his emotions get the better of him or let them interfere with what needs to be done. The best example of this is when he is faced with the deaths of his sister/best friend Jade’s dreamself and his father. Though he was clearly upset by both losses, he was able to put his grief on hold for the greater good. Admittedly this is truer of his father’s death than of Jade’s dreamself, as he DID have a private moment of grief over Jade. He was just interrupted in the middle of it by a madman who wanted to kill him. After that same madman killed his father and another of his best friends (Rose), John had more important things to do (kissing Rose back to life, starting the scratch, escaping his doomed session, you know...just trying to keep existing, same old same old.) than to sit down and cry about it. This isn’t to say that he is an emotionally hardened badass, incapable of feeling anything; it’s just that after spending some time playing SBURB, John has a relatively good handle on his emotions, especially for a thirteen year old and especially in comparison to some of the his friends.

While John is not the most intelligent character in the series (but by no means stupid), he is undoubtedly one of the most inventive and resourceful. After reading about a magic trick involving marking cards with a hole-punch, he realized that the trick could be adapted and used with SBURB’s punch card-based alchemy system. From there, he is able to mostly crack the binary cipher behind the system and fully utilize it to create a variety of items to help him on his journey. He even figured out how to do simple item subtractions (he managed to "subtract" clown doodles from a movie poster, but was unable to remove a flower pot, violin, and cinderblock from a jetpack). When he creates a hammer to large and heavy for him to pick up, let alone wield, he creates a Remote Control Ghost Gauntlet which allows him to use it. Immediately after making said gauntlet, he realizes that if he combines it with a mirror, he can make one for the other hand too. Because why the hell not? Later on, John is tasked with retrieving a bomb out of the core of a planet; however he does not have nearly enough time to find the entrance leading to said core. His solution is to drill through the planet with a giant tornado, which he creates with his control of the wind.

In addition to being incredibly positive and inventive, John is also a very friendly individual. He places great importance on friendship and even goes as far to remind his teammates that he is not their leader, but rather their friend. And there is a HUGE difference between the two. He is a very good listener and despite being an oblivious goof, has the uncanny ability to see through the fronts his friends sometimes put up and tell or give them exactly what they need. As stated previously, John has his moments where he can be pretty unkind and nasty, but it takes quite a bit to push him to that point. The trolls provide the best example of this. When we first see John talk to a Karkat, he is far from kind to the grey-texted alien. But when we consider the fact that all four of the trolls antagonized John AND his best friends for months before the game even began (meaning the four kids had no clue as to why they were being tormented in the first place) it is not all that hard to see why he was less than happy to hear from them again. Especially considering the fact that John thought he had ditched them by switching his messaging handle. But under normal circumstances, he is very warm and accepting of people (though he will throw in the occasional sarcastic quip or teasing jab). He trusts and accepts a person until given a reason not to and even then he sometimes continues to trust and accept anyway, evidence to the contrary be damned.

And this leads us to of John’s biggest shortcomings: he is trusting to a fault and too naïve for his own good. Following advice from dubious sources has gotten him killed on two separate occasions to date. For example, when Terezi tells him to go face his denizen after only being in the game for a few hours, John goes right along with it despite the fact that this is clearly not only a bad idea, but a downright stupid one. John is not at all new to video games and should have known that fighting a creature that was, at the very least, a miniboss (if not a final boss) at his meager level could only end in failure, even if the creature in question was supposedly asleep (spoilers: he wasn’t). Despite the fact that both this death and the second one at the hands of Vriska ended up being beneficial (to either the timeline in general or John himself), the fact still remains that listening to internet trolls is never a good idea. Especially when the trolls in question have either threatened to kill you or flat-out told you they were going to kill you months before actually going through with it.

In this same vein, John can also be quite passive, though not in the pathetic, backbone-less sense. It’s more that he has the tendency to do things (or at the very least, consider doing them) simply because someone tells him to, despite how little sense the command may make, how dangerous it is, or how dubious the source. In addition to this passivity, John is also not the patient type. Whenever he ends up having to wait for something to arrive or happen, John has the tendency to get somewhat upset and rather irate. This also holds true for when information is being withheld from him, as evident by his conversations with Nannasprite (his ghostly spirit guide through the Medium made from a harlequin doll and his grandmother’s ashes). Tied closely to this is John’s laziness. This is especially evident early on in canon, when John would rather have Rose throw refrigerators at enemies than get up and fight them himself.

John's tendency not to think things through before acting on them is an unfortunate aspect of his that often causes people to consider him unintelligent despite evidence to the contrary. Predictably, this can get him into lots of trouble, such as the aforementioned example with Terezi. Another example of this occurs when Karkat informs John that in order to defeat Jack Noir, either Dave or Rose is going to have to die. John’s immediate reaction is to suggest that he go on the suicide mission instead because he is "apparently immortal, because of this god tier business, so the bomb probably would not kill [him]!" However, as Karkat is quick to point out, John’s immortality is only conditional and maybe, just maybe, a suicide mission to save the entire world would count as heroic (one of only two ways in which to kill a God Tier character like John). Obviously, Karkat prevents him from actually going through with it, but if he (or someone else) hadn’t pointed out how dumb it was, John likely would have gone through with it in order to save Dave and/or Rose.

Last but not least, John has a stubborn streak a mile wide though this isn’t always necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it’s more like a double edged sword. On the one hand, if he were not a stubborn individual, he would not so doggedly pursue the best possible outcome in every situation. Stubbornness and nigh unbreakable optimism go hand-in-hand, after all. But on the other, once he gets an idea into his head, he will just as doggedly pursue it even if it's a bad one. Even if presented with evidence to the contrary, John will still attempt to go through with a potentially bad idea. The best example of this is when Dave and Future Dave try to tell him not to listen to Terezi’s advice and blast off into space and get himself killed like a doofus. It wasn’t until he remembered Dave’s birthday letter (mere feet away from the final gate that would lead him to his denizen and his death) that he changed his mind and listened to his friend, saving both himself and the alpha timeline in the process.

( Character's Name ) : Rose Lalonde
( Character's Age ) : HERE
( Series ) : Homestuck
( Canon Point ) : Act 6 Intermission 1, just after WV is delivered to the group on the meteor.

( History ) :
On the MSPA Wiki!

( Personality ) :
With a personality erring on the side of antisocial, Rose Lalonde is a card to interact with. Whether this is a good or a bad card is hard to discern. First you have to deal with the terrible combination of her skepticism and cynicism. Do you really mean what you say? Are you sure everything you do is for as sincere purposes as you claim? Aren't you really just taking a jab at her or her interests or hobbies? The next step of interaction is the passive-aggression. Once she has determined the level of sincerity in whatever it was you did, she will meticulously craft a rebuttal. Assuring that her response is filled with just enough sincerity to be seen as touching, she carefully adds her quiet jabs in return. “Oh, under usual circumstances, this could have been taken as quite rude, but I know you would never do such a thing.” And of course, in the spirit of one-upmanship, this reply must also be over-the-top, but only enough to impress and, possibly, make your action look inferior to hers. If you can make it past that, realizing that she just has a hard time saying thank you, you get the pleasure of sarcasm seeping heavily into her humor. So what's so attractive about speaking with this girl? What could possibly be so compelling as to encourage you to continue interaction? Well, we'll get to that. Trust me when I say 'you'll know it when you see it'.

Rose Lalonde, unlike most stereotypical girls of the young age of thirteen, isn't into shopping and fashion, cartoons and boys, ponies and fairies. If the previous paragraph didn't leave you feeling as though she kind of breaks the mold of peppy girl character, what you're about to read will surely confirm this for you. Rose, firstly, dabbles in psychology. And when I say dabbles, I mean she is not afraid to explore the minds and actions of her friends when opportunities that pique her curiosity arise. Moments of presumed weakness, metaphors that hint at further meaning, things that really seem to hide some deeper, secretive meaning. Of course, then there are moments like the mystery of the defaced movie posters. After displaying proof that they were wrecked previous to John's acknowledgment of it, she's asked for an explanation. While she does offer the answer as a friend, her theory sounds just like one you'd probably expect from a therapist. Dave has also received her 'help' in the form of dream analysis..

The bestially strange and fictitious is another preoccupation of hers. And no, we are not referring to flamingos or unicorns. Think more along the line of the horrors that live in the deep. The terrors lurking and looming just outside of your subconscious. Or, perhaps more specifically, Horrorterrors. Ones such as Fluthlu, Foul Patrician of Misery or Nrub'yiglith, Shamebeast King of Grotesquery. And one must never forget Oglogoth, the Deep One. Various creatures who exist and inhabit what is know as the Furthest Ring. All of this information is stored in the Grimoire for Summoning the Zoologically Dubious. As can be expected, this interest goes hand in hand with one of the ridiculously obscure literature.

And, speaking of literature, this brings us to the last subject of her passions we will touch upon; That being her somewhat secretive love of creative writing. While personal journals are strictly for her eyes only, she does not seem to be completely opposed to the idea of spinning tales and poetry to her friends . Thanks, however, to the peek into aforementioned journals taken by Dave, at least one of them reveals that perhaps Rose loves wizards more than she lets on. Her creativity, however, does not stop with simple writing. Once the game SBURB began, Rose was able to view and manipulate John's surroundings as his server player, even without being physically there. When John needed something cleaned up in the back yard, but her cursor couldn't reach? She expanded the space of his room and had him stand closer to the mess, allowing her a further reach. When John needed a little help defeating imps, she wasn't able to provide that in person. She opted to throwing large objects at them instead, such as a bathtub or piano. Once entering the game herself, she uses nothing but a pair of simple knitting needles to blind an intimidating ogre by stabbing it in the eyes. She then employs her yarn to wrestle the creature not only to the ground but into the water leading away from her home, thereby effectively creating a raft to float upon. The young miss Lalonde also happens to be a talented little violinist and she knits! In fact, one of her most adventurous projects was repairing a stuffed bunny of great importance, requiring large sections of previous material to be removed and replaced with the newly knitted panels. Such an endeavor doesn't come with patterns and requires both creativity and logic to accomplish.

And logic seems like the perfect positive facet of her personality to start with. Intelligence is something that Rose has an abundance of and this can really be taken in a variety of ways. She's an excellent problem solver, and here we go back to previous examples given to exemplify this. The expansion of his room to widen her cursor range, the use of objects thrown somewhat haphazardly at monsters when she herself cannot physically help. She is also the one to figure out much of SBURB, relying on FAQs written by others momentarily in an attempt to discern why there was a countdown ticking threateningly at John, but soon abandoned them in favor of scribing her own. The only aspect of the game that seemed to give her real troubles was futzing with the controls. Rose is also, you could say, “book” smart, owning a bookshelf filled to the brim with books, some of which are likely fantasy stories, while others being psychological or philosophical in nature. Her love for literature is likely quite apparent, even if you are never allowed a look at her room. Everyday conversation with her often includes verbose replies, her penchant for the sesquipedalian not at all hidden from the world. Her vocabulary is extensive and utilized regularly, without the assistance of a dictionary or thesaurus on her end. It simply comes natural to her.

Serious and stoic of nature come hand in hand with her next positive trait. Rose likes to keep an air of poise about her, often sounding very mature for her age. Always calm, always collected and always in control. And while normally this can be a rather double-edged sword for girl her age, she is lucky in that a small part of her still indulges in the silly and ridiculous. Where using a magnetic W as a distinguished mustache is okay (as long as no one is looking). Where there is some fun to flying around a pastel rainbow land with a salamander garbed in a cute little cowl by your side, a pair of wands made from knitting needles, a book and a wizard station in your hands. Despite wanting to be so mature, she's still thirteen and she really seems to realize this.

This leads us into number four of her sundry strengths, that being her self-awareness. Her age is not the only thing she realizes about herself. Rose, whilst in control of her emotions, is never pictured working outside her limits. She doesn't push her body to any breaking points, nor truly put her powers to any real test of their boundaries. Yes, to be fair, those may not exactly be small confinements, but she uses only what she needs to get things done. Aside from being aware of the greatest extent that she can push herself to, she is always mindful of mistakes she makes. If she doesn't admit to and apologize for them when she becomes aware they were made, you can bet she will at some point. In fact, by the time she reaches ascension, it seems as though she's come to terms with many of the mistakes she's made along the way, learning from them rather than dwelling or repeating them. At least, the ones that can be repeated.

From here we venture into the realm of her determination. Driven and ambitious, giving up is never an option for this one. And sometimes, neither is failure. Whatever her task, whatever the goal, whether it be for herself or for everyone, once she has set her mind to something she will follow it through as far as she is absolutely able. To this end, she is not easily deterred. If something stands in her way, she will find a way to circumvent it so she may continue. And if a way around the obstruction is not available?

She will blow it the fuck up.

However, this drive isn't always the best feature of hers either. Along with seeing good things through to the end, she also has a tendency to follow plans that are on the side of 'really bad ideas' just as stubbornly. Such as missions that will end with her very much dead in the end. And this is because, unfortunately, she is a very poor judge of character.

Yes, despite all of her study into psychology and people, and all the skepticism she holds for basically everyone, Rose still manages to place faith in forces that are likely Not Good. Remember those Horrorterrors I spoke of earlier? Again, these creatures are very much real, and as a Derse Dreamer Rose is able to hear them. Which means she's able to place her trust in them, even though they do not sound like the nicest bunch. Further more, she places trust into a guy who is kind of creepy. Doc Scratch makes promises of a better chance at survival for her and her friends (though no absolute guarantee) in exchange for Rose running off on a suicide mission that would bring the arrival of a rather evil sounding guy. It's sort of like he's offering her candy in exchange for sitting in his van for a little while. And yet she willingly takes the offer without fully thinking the situation through. In her defense, however, the price to pay for refusing such an offer is too steep for her. She would essentially be dooming her friends to die.

It is likely these decisions that bring about our next course in this dreary half. That being her need for a little emotional detachment, and how that turns into a whole lot of detachment period throughout the game. She is seen various times treating discussion held with her friends as more of a professional than a companion. She breaks down their thought processes, their decisions, their seemingly pointless antics and presents them with the results, trying to remind them of how serious the situation is early on. After obtaining the goal of saving them, she slowly begins with withdraw. Despite the best intentions of her friends, she offers them at best mysterious and cryptic answers to their probing questions as to what she's doing, what she's plotting and what she's up to. At worst, she just won't answer them at all, though eventually this becomes the permanent answer the closer they come to the Scratch. It's not until prompted to ask her magic cueball what to do that she finally answers one of the chums pestering her again.

Here is another moment where I will ask you to recall something for me. Do you recall when I said she likes to give off an air of poise? Of calm, cool, collectedness? Well let me reiterate. She likes to. And for the most part, people believe it. However, sometimes her emotions can get the better of her and she ends up making rash, reckless decisions on impulse. Her first offense being that of when she destroyed her first gate. They're doomed to fail. Their session won't bare fruit. Essentially, they will die there, and she refuses to accept this. She swears to tear the game apart at the seams until she finds every answer it can give her on how to fix this. How to repair her fate. Perhaps it's anger or desperation or an undeniable will to live that spurns this on, but this decision is not made with logic. It is made with emotion. The next offense I am about to describe is the likely the most impacting. The setting is the Land of Heat and Clockwork, and she has just been told to speak to Jade by a magic cueball. Doing so allows her to learn of the death of her mother, which is only a toe in the water of grief and anger driven actions for this example. In a fit of anger, Rose hunts down Jack to exact her revenge. Upon doing so, she comes upon John who has yet to learn of the fate of their parents, and she is in no position to tell him (what with her speaking gobbledygook thanks to being all grimdark and stuff). Instead, she is left leading him to the scene of their murder, where they are confronted by Jack. The two ready their weapons, but before either can take a strike, Rose witnesses yet another murder. That of John. At this point, it's pretty obvious from the look on her face that she's not just mad anymore. She's terrifyingly furious, launching into a battle with the villain that she is doomed to lose.

Now, something almost everything she does and continues to do comes down to one thing. There's one big reason she starts looking for answers, willing to break the game if she has to to obtain them. There's one thing that sends her truly off the deep end and ends with her getting killed against Jack. There's one purpose behind risking her life on a suicide mission that she will never return to thanks to that death. And that one thing is the fate of her friends. From the very beginning, she is repairing their fate, not hers. She is working to save them more than herself. And when one of those very close friends is killed in front of her, she positively loses it, absolutely blinded by rage.

Wallace | Pokemon

[champ_coordinator]

[ Player Name ] : Seph
[ Personal DW ] : N/A
[ Age ] : 26
[ Timezone ] : UK GMT
[ Other Characters ] : N/A


[ Character's Name ] : Wallace
[ Character's Age ] : Around 25
[ Series ] : Pokemon
[ Canon Point ] : During Emerald while Team Magma and Aqua are working on their bad stuff. Wallace is Champion and has taken over from Steven.

[ History ] : Wallace (Japanese: ミクリ Mikuri) is a Master Water-type Trainer. He was once the Gym Leader of Sootopolis City's Gym, known officially as the Sootopolis Gym, in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, wielding the Rain Badge. He was promoted to Champion of the Elite Four in Emerald. He is apparently close to Steven Stone, and assists him in the Cave of Origin quest in Ruby/Sapphire. He was taught by Juan, who takes his place as Gym Leader in Emerald.

In Ruby and Sapphire, he runs Sootopolis City Gym where he gives out the Rain Badge as well as TM03 (Water Pulse). By the time of Emerald, Steven has left his post as Champion and Wallace challenges the league, becoming Champion himself, while his mentor, Juan, becomes Gym Leader. His Pokémon as Champion are also Water-type Pokémon.

[ Personality ] : Wallace is an outgoing individual. He is flamboyant and openly extrovert. He can be quite shy to certain subjects or have mood changes at the lightest of things. He enjoys being with others especially his Pokemon and new friends he may meet. He tends to talk poetically as this is how he is. An artist by nature he revels in nature and the flow of words connected with Pokemon battles or contests. Being the Champion, he can often boast about his ability or give others guidance on improving themselves. He doesn't act well to being told what to do. He loves the sea and anything related to it as water is his natural love. He has a deep friendship with ex-Champion, Steven Stone. Total opposites of one another, he found solace in having a friend like him.

He dresses in rather outward clothes, which give off his extrovert nature. Usually blues, deep purples and whites. All the colours of the ocean and it's plants. He is a very nature-loving man. He can't stand bullying or people abusing Pokemon. Team Magma and Aqua, he despises and wants to try and stop them along with everyone else.

[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] : He is apt at using water and grass type Pokemon. He is good at contest as he has the knack for artistic flair and likes to show off during such events. Flamboyancy is second nature to him. It can be useful but over confidence can bring him down sometimes. He has a strong partnership with his Milotec as it often works closely with him during battles or contests. Milotec puts up with anything Wallace goes with but if the man is wrong on a choice, his Pokemon would make it known. Sometimes, Milotec has to get him out of tricky situations if any arise.

[ Other Important Facts ] : He's the Champion of the Hoenn region and also judge at the Wallace Cup. The prize is the Aqua Ribbon, which he gives to whomever wins.

[ Sample ] :

- Suddenly, by the force of Vatheon, an over zealous npc, or even your character's friends playing a joke, your character suddenly finds themselves wearing clothes they otherwise would never wear. What do?


Wallace looked down at his clothes and gasped. He was wearing red? A red jumper which was knitted and fraying at the edges. His pants were made of knitted wool also. Who was this playing a game on him? He frowned and felt a deep blush come to his cheeks. Whoever did this would find out how angry he could get, when he wanted.

He turned to Milotec, who was watching close to him. Was that a smile on it's lips? He dismissed it and began walking to the nearest Poke Mart. Perhaps they'd have some new clothes he could fit into while he looked for his original clothes. He didn't even want to go looking for his old clothes in these....things. He sighed. The shame. "Milotec, you'd better not be laughing at me." He shot his Pokemon a warning glance. His azure eyes lit up with annoyance and embarrassment. He passed through some heavily dense woodland and hoped no one would comment on his clothes. How far was the next Poke Mart? He pulled out his Poke nav and frowned.

The next city was Slateport. Ah, he loved Slateport. The sea and the docks he loved to sit and watch the waves lap at the shore. Bad clothes or not, he was happy about returning there. Devon corp was where Steven's dad worked. He owned the company and Wallace and Steven were very good friends. "Ah, Slateport, Milotec. The wind and sea dance like a couple doing a dance. I love the sound of the sea." He mused as Slateport approached.

Wallace picked little bits of wool from his jumper as he stepped into Slateport city. Hiding his vision from anyone he dashed into the Pokemart as quickly as possible. He ordered a blue sweater with some Wingull on it and some turquoise pants. Perfect. Paying and taking his goods, he changed quickly in the changing room and headed back outside. Milotec was waiting for him with it's usual calm expression. Wallace sighed. "Thank goodness for modern convenience I say!"

Sephiroth | Final Fantasy VII

[iam_sephiroth]

[ Player Name ] : Seph
[ Personal DW ] : N/A
[ Age ] : 26
[ Timezone ] : UK GMT
[ Other Characters ] : Wallace | champ_coordinator

[ Character's Name ] : Sephiroth
[ Character's Age ] : Around 25
[ Series ] : Final Fantasy VII
[ Canon Point ] : During the events of Final Fantasy VII. When Avalanche and Cloud Strife are aiming to take down ShinRa and fight for justice. Sephiroth has found Jenova and is intent on burning the world for hurting his people, the Ancients.

[ History ] :

Sephiroth was originally a general within the ShinRa organisation within Midgar. After learning about the secrets Professor Hojo was keeping about him regarding the JENOVA project, he locked himself away in the ShinRa mansion. He read many books for weeks until he found that he was descended from the alien being, JENOVA. Anger fuelled his hatred towards ShinRa and Hojo. He left the mansion after being locked up for months and went to the town of Nibelheim close by. Fuelled by rage and anger towards humans, he killed everyone within the town and torched the place.

This started the chain of events which surround Final Fantasy VII. His ongoing battle with Cloud Strife, a SOLDIER infantryman who lived in Nibelheim. Cloud, disgusted by Sephiroth's betrayal and madness joined up a group called AVALANCHE to fight ShinRa and Sephiroth.

Sephiroth became a well-known enemy around Midgar after the Nibelheim incident. He could not hide the fact that he believe he was the direct son of the alien being, JENOVA. It drove him to madness and he even went against the men he knew, his best friends. Genesis Rhapsodos and Angeal Hewley. Both Firsts within SOLDIER like himself. Sephiroth became a loner and distanced himself from everyone. He became a wandering loner, desperate to seek revenge for his people, the Ancients.

Killing anyone and everything that crossed his path, he became a dangerous enemy to everyone. Those who knew him at SOLDIER, now didn't know the man as he had changed. A monster fuelled by hate and betrayal. Finding Hojo and hunting down everyone at ShinRa was on his task list. He succeeded in assassinating the ShinRa president and then went to seek his son, Rufus.

Sephiroth then became an icon within the Final Fantasy VII universe as he was known to wield his Masamune with dangerous skill and efficiency.


[ Personality ] :

Sephiroth is a rather shy but fiercely intelligent man. He is arrogant and somwhat torn between his past and his future. When angered, he can be dangerously violent and unpredictable. Because of what happened with his past concerning ShinRa, he is not the same man he used to be. To most, his outward appearance might mask the man he truly is. He can be calm and polite as he is a pleasant enough man to talk to. If you get in the way of his plans or his visions, he tends to lash out with anger.

His attire consists of his signature long black coat and his long silver hair. Also, his extra long katana, Masamune, makes him a feared man to anyone. He is extremely skilled in the art of using his katana and has had years of training within ShinRa, making him a skilled fighter. He can use Materia, which is Mako energy made into small orbs of power. Being in SOLDIER, he is skilled with using Materia as he is using his sword.

Finding JENOVA and leaning the truth about his betrayal, has made him a very bitter man. He resents anyone within the ShinRa organisation and has turned his back on everyone and everything. Even those closest to him, Genesis Rhapsodos and Angeal Hewley, he believes the whole human race needs to be punished.


[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :

Sephiroth is highly skilled with using his katana, Masamune. He can also use Materia extremely well, being in SOLDIER for many years. He can use both Firaga, which is fire Materia and Bolt, which is lightning Materia well.

He is know for his signature move, Octa-slash when using his Masamune. It delivers a powerful hit ratio and slashes the enemy many times. It never misses.

His weaknesses are arrogance and he has a fear around crowds. He prefers to be alone rather than within lots of people. Regarding his mother, JENOVA, he can appear quite weak to another when faced with his past surrounding the matter. He doesn't like revealing that he was experimented on by Hojo, as it can bring bad memories up for him.


[ Other Important Facts ] :

He became a general within ShinRa when he was fairly young. In his teens, he lead men into battle against ShinRa's enemy the Wutai. He knew Genesis Rhapsodos, Zack Fair and Angeal Hewley. All members of SOLDIER and First class within ShinRa. He is the son of JENOVA and his own human mother, Lucrecia Crescent.


[ Sample ] :
The city of Vatheon is under attack (again). Giant sea-creatures are wrecking the city (again). Time to prepare for battle.


Sephiroth's senses stood on end as he reached for his Masamune. Monsters. He knew the sign of those beings as he'd fought them for many years. In all shapes and sizes. Where was he as he looked up at the water city. Wherever he was, he'd have to defend against the creatures which he could hear destroying the city within. How many innocents would they attack? Too many for his standards. He ran into the city and looked around with his quick eyes. He scanned the vicinity and noticed a large sea monster attacking a row of houses. No.

Sephiroth launched himself towards the tentacled mass and hacked with his Masamune. He managed to provoke the sea monster as it screamed in pain as the silver general hacked a few of it's tentacles from it's body. Green blood dripped to the ground as he went to bite Sephiroth with it's large teeth. The lithe general jumped from the mass of monster onto the ground and used a Thundaga spell onto it's body. Thunder and water never mix. The monster roared in pain as it felt the force of the SOLDIER's Materia spell. Who was this mysterious invader? No one else in Vatheon could use such a force.

The monster screamed once more as it fell, crashing to the floor. Sephiroth smirked as he stood a few feet away and wiped the green blood from his Masamune. If there were more monsters around, he'd be ready for them.

[ Player Name ] : Seph
[ Personal DW ] : N/A
[ Age ] : 26
[ Timezone ] : UK GMT
[ Other Characters ] : Wallace [champ_coordinator]


[ Character's Name ] : Burgh
[ Character's Age ] : Around 25
[ Series ] : Pokemon
[ Canon Point ] : During Black and White when Team Plasma are trying to cause chaos throughout the Unova region.

[ History ] :

Burgh (Japanese: アーティ Arti) is the Gym Leader of Castelia City Gym, known officially as the Castelie Gym. He specializes in Bug-type Pokémon and gives the Insect Bdge to Trainers who defeat him.

Burgh appears in Pokemon Black and White as the Gym Leader of Castelia City's Gym, the third Gym to be challenged by the player. He is also an artist and apparently started his career in Nacrene City, which he often comes back to when he gets "artist's block." Trainers who defeat Burgh will receive the Insect Badge, along with TM76 Struggle Bug.

He also reappears at N's Castle where he and the other Unova Gym Leaders hold off the Seven Sages.In Pokemon Black and White 2, Burgh returns as a Gym Leader. The TM Burgh gives away remains the same.

During the anime:

Burgh was first shown wrapped up in his green poncho and hanging on a rope to live like a forest Pokémon. Ash and Iris see this and were obviously surprised, before he unraveled and told them not to make too much noise. Burgh is also a fashion designing genius prodigy, but was having a hard time coming up with new ideas, so he said he goes to the forest to find inspiration. He also teaches Ash and Iris about studying Pokémon and getting to know them before capturing them. After seeing Sewaddle and Ash's bonding in front of the sunset, he gets his latest inspiration and heads back to his hometown to create new designs and waits for Ash to arrive and challenge him.


[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :

Burgh has a strength with using Bug-type Pokemon and has the ability to "talk" with them. He uses his complex knowledge of Bug-types to communicate and gain their friendship. He also sleeps out within the forest to try and gain a better understanding of Bug-types. He sees himself as trying to gain a "pure heart" while seeking inspiration for his artwork at the same time.

As well as a Bug-type trainer and Gym Leader, Burgh is an accomplish artist. He often has mood swings between being happy and content to depressed and lonely. A common trait amongst artists. His weakness would be lack of inspiration which causes him to withdraw amongst himself and lie among the trees for days on end until his inspiration picks up once more. Burgh's personality can waver between finding his true inspiration around Bug-types and not knowing what to do next. Unpredictability is one of Burgh's weaknesses.

Overall, his strengths lie in doing good for the world and setting things to balance within their own harmony. He is good with people and Bug-type Pokemon and tends to get on well with others. A strength would be his out-going personality.

[ Personality ] :

Burgh comes across as a rather out-going but somewhat shy artist. His personality can change from knowing what to do one moment to losing his inspiration and withdrawing into himself. Spending nights within Pinwheel Forest helps him connect with his "inner self" and regain a "pure heart" in knowing about nature. He is good with animals, especially Bug-type Pokemon. He'd do anything and everything to protect them against danger. Even putting himself at risk. He has a fierce temper if someone ever activates it. Luckily, he has never gone off into a tantrum much in the past.

Mood swings dominate much of Burgh's personality as he tries to find inspiration within the world of Pokemon. He mixes art with training and has found the unique blend in finding where he wants to go. Being the leader of the Castelia City gym, he is responsible and can often be found playing the leader wherever situations show themselves.

His clothes reflect is rather dandy appearance as he takes pride in how he looks. Being an artist, he believes projecting his outward personality and his love of Bug-types makes him the person he is. Most people may think him slightly effeminate due to the way he dresses. Burgh doesn't care if people think him gay or straight, it is how one acts that defies themselves. He believes in that. He is also a fashion designer, using his Pokemon to help him design clothes and costumes. His own clothes were designed by himself and the help of his Pokemon.

He believes against what Team Plasma are doing within the Unova region and vows to help stop them with the other Gym leaders. Hurting Pokemon is something Burgh cannot stand at any cost. He believes that being at harmony with one's Pokemon is how you reach your true potential and inner peace.


[ Other Important Facts ] :

His Japanese title is モスト・インセクト・アーティスト / Mosuto Insekuto Aateisuto. "Most Insect Artist"
BW Episode 018 "Yaguruma Forest! Kurumiru and Arti!!" mentions that Burgh likes salad made from berries.

In the games, Burgh's gym resembles a beehive while Bugsy's gym resembles a Forest and a spiderweb.
Burgh is the second Gym Leader to use Bug Pokemon, the first is Bugsy of Azelea Town in Johto.


[ Sample ] :

What is this? Is that rain? How nice-- wait a minute, is it raining rubber duckies? Seriously.

Burgh was sleeping amongst the canopy on top of a nearby tree as he usually did. He was trying to connect his focus between Bug-type Pokemon and himself. He often did. What was that pit-pat noise coming around him? Was it raining? He had felt no water on his body. He opened his eyes slowly and gasped. What the?-

Rubber ducks? He looked up and couldn't believe what he was seeing. Lots and lots of rubber ducks were....falling from the sky? But, how was that even possible?! Where on earth was he? He stood up and felt one duck hit him on the head. Ow. Jumping down from the tree, he rubbed his head and used his green cloak to protect himself from the duck downpour. He sheltered underneath the tree and pulled out his sketchpad. He began furously trying to record what he was seeing by sketching the ducks falling from the sky. Rubber ducks falling from the sky.

Was he dreaming? He pinched himself to make sure. Nope, that hurt. The bump on his head was real enough too. "What is going on?" He whispered to himself. He often spoke to himself sometimes to get his thought processes working. Eccentric perhaps but Burgh didn't care what others thought of him. He was an artist and art was everything. Some people just didn't understand. What could he do about it? Would the ducks stop on their own? "Sewaddle, you might want to see this." Burgh spoke to the Pokeball attached to his belt. He unhooked the ball and threw it out into the sky. Out came Sewaddle, the caterpillar Pokemon and immediately hid under Burgh's cloak. It was unsure aboutt he ducks as he was. "Sewaddle?" It looked at it's master and frowned. Burgh gave the small creature a stroke on it's leafy head.

"It's alright. Something odd is happening but I find it beautiful and strange at the same time. Don't you, Sewaddle?" He looked to his frightened Pokemon. Sewaddle just poked at one of the rubber ducks on the floor by their feet. Burgh felt as if he were witnessing something magical and special. Like he was within a dream but still within reality. Suddenly, the duck downpour stopped. Burgh sighed. "That was exciting, wasn't it, Sewaddle?" He put his sketchpad away and leaned back against the tree.

[ Character's Age ] : 17
[ Series ] : Tales of Phantasia
[ Canon Point ] : End of the OVA, just after Dhaos’ death, when everyone’s standing around absorbing it all.

[ History ] :
http://aselia.wikia.com/wiki/Arche_Klein
[ Personality ] :
Arche is a teenager, and usually acts her age. She is boy crazy, but doesn’t usually admit she enjoys someone’s company to their face. One special boy is Chester, but don’t tell her I told you. They tend to bicker and tease more than anything else. She acts childish, flirtatious, giggly, whiny, and nonchalant – usually all at the same time.
She takes a lot of pride in how quickly she can cast magic, and teases those like Klarth that take a long time, even though his magic is stronger. She just cannot be bothered with all that complication. She likes things that don’t require much effort, but if she is truly needed by someone she has no problem pitching in and helping out. She is fully capable of taking care of herself and her friends, and of accomplishing things that are needed, despite her behavior in peaceful times. She is, after all, one of the two powerful magic users that are asked for help by other characters (that were sent back in time specifically for them). Her magic is generally elemental – and that along with her personality are the reasons I named her journal storm_on_a_stick.
She is half-elven, and this is something people have looked down on her for. When this happens, she just hangs her head, steps back and says not to worry, she’s used to it. It seems that it bothers her more than she lets on, though. She is an outcast among the elves, and is not acknowledged or even allowed within their territory, as is true with all half-elven.

[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
Strengths: Quick casting of strong spells.
Mastery of fast movement and remarkable balance while flying on broom.
Loyalty to friends and those that have acted positively towards her.
Weaknesses: Spells not as strong as long cast, multiple target summoning spells (like Klarth’s).
Since she still comes across rather childlike, she sometimes offends with words and actions in social settings.
Her fascination with boys will sometimes seem to cloud her judgment or distract her from the more important issues at hand.

( Character's Name ) : Silabus
( Character's Age ) : 19
( Series ) : .hack//G.U
( Canon Point ) : In the second volume of the game Reminisce, after Silabus and Gaspard helped Haseo get his 3rd job extension
( Playability ) : HERE

( History ) :
http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/Silabus

( Personality ) :
Silabus can be summed up in one word: friendly. Offline and online he’s a very friendly person and helps those that need it, regardless of his well-being. He had even headed to a field because of anonymous letter asking him to help, even though PKs (Player Killers) were after him. Silabus always wants to help people out, having been a member then leader then member once again of a new player guild. Even in real life he volunteers and helps out in the community an finds it quite fun and rewarding, despite the hard work

He is also a bit naïve and trustful, tending to look more on the good side of people rather than the negative (He did manage to befriend Haseo after all). He treats people the same and accepts them for who they are. Because of this he tends to get into a bit of trouble but he doesn’t seem to mind or wish to change his attitude toward people. Since he is like this, many girls like him and Silabus being himself is oblivious to it.

Silabus is a huge gamer, a self-proclaimed gaming addict as it was, and plays more often than he studies for school. He is a bit of a messy guy, but generally ignores it to walk outside or play more games. Though he isn’t as active as usual he does enjoy the outdoors. He’s interested in the more liberal arts side then scientific, wanting to become a reporter or journalist.

Silabus is a very caring guy, wanting everyone to have fun and work together, and will try his best to make that happen. He is a bit on the quiet side, not liking going to parties or having a loud life.


( Strengths/Weaknesses ) :
Strengths:
- Will stand up for his friends and try his best
- Able to multitask, jogging while playing a mmorpg for example
- Good understanding of technology
- Very helpful and good at making friends

Weaknesses:
- Can be too trusting, led astray or into traps very easily
- Is human and fairly weak
- Not used to using a sword very well (see facts)

( Other Important Facts ) :
As you may have guessed, Silabus is a handle in an online game, The World. His real name is Yuuichi Morino and he’s from Japan. For this game he will be going inside the character he has made, which has happened to other people in .hack//G.U because of an anomaly called AIDA. It will be combining what Yuuichi can do as well as what Silabus can, though for fighting skills Silabus will be less graceful since Yuuichi hasn’t wielded a sword in real life. Though he looks like he belongs in a fantasy rpg, he will also know stuff that happens in the world that he knows, which is slightly more technologically advanced than our own (An AU Earth the date there is 2017). He will also go by Silabus here, and very rarely say his real name.

( Sample ) :
Silabus hummed as he walked around the city, a bag in hand filled with his favourite food. He had heard some people had never tried Japanese style food before (Or even knew what Japan was) so he had decided to invite a few people for a picnic of sorts, introducing others to different types of food and meeting new people at the same time.

“I wonder what everyone else is bringing,” He wondered, looking up at the dome. He still found it was pretty cool to be down here, despite being not being able to go back home. “Heh, maybe the food will have alien stuff inside. Oh man, that would something…”

“Ow!” Silabus rubbed his head as something hit him. Looking around he managed to catch the culprit in the palm of his hand. He stared at it for a moment tilting his head. “Wha…a duck?” That couldn’t be right.

He looked up to the sky, just to make sure he wasn’t seeing things. He almost thought he had when another rubber duck smacked him right in the face. “Whoa, hey!” he jumped a bit in shock, rubbing his nose as he saw more and more starting to fall. The brown haired teen looked for the closet shelter he could find and managed to get under a piece of a building, watching the ducks fall, squeaking as they hit something.

Silabus sighed. “What a ruined day for a picnic. Guess we’ll have to wait for next time.”

Silver is the son of Giovanni, the former Gym Leader of Viridian City and leader of Team Rocket. Around three years go, prior to the start of HG/SS, Red from the Red/Blue/Green+Remakes games defeated him. Giovanni then disbanded Team Rocket and went into hiding, leaving his at the time, 12 almost 13 year old son alone. No mention of Silver's mother's ever been made, so headcanonly, I assume that she died when he was very young. Cue daddy issues and a hatred of Team Rocket due to being left behind. :(

Three years pass and somehow Silver makes his way to to the Johto region where he's first seen outside professor Elm's lab and when the Player character, known as Ethan here on out, approached him, he knocked him away and goes back to looking in through the window. He obviously sees Ethan get his Pokemon, a Cyndaquil, and not long after steals one for himself. This happens to be a Totodile and let's just say that he's not the most kindest of trainers to it. Seeing Ethan approuch route 29, Silver calls out to him, challenging to a battle. Silver wins this one, remarking that it was a waste of time and telling Ethan his name, before leaving - physically pushing the younger boy out of the way as he does so. Presumably, he by-passes the Pokemon Centre for now, and goes to train his exhausted pokemon until it drops.

He's next seen around Sprout Tower just outside of Azeala town, when the end of his fight with Sage Li, head of the towers monks, is witnessed. At the end of it, he wins and claims a TM disc - Flash. He then notices Ethan and a few words are exchanged, mostly Silver voicing his contempt for the weak. He then leaves using an escape rope. A bit later after the Ethan's gotten Azalea's gymbadge, he shows up outside Ilex forest, asking the player if it's true that Team Rocket's returned. When Ethan says yes, he rudely tells him to stop lying and proceeds to challenge him. He loses*. Another huff and he heads into the forest, vanishing. Presumably to overwork his already exhausted pokemon. Are we seeing a pattern here?

From there he makes his way toward Ecruteak City, presumably getting the gymbages along the way as well as battling other trainers. There, he goes to the Burned tower looking for a legendary pokemon to add to his team. Soon after, Ethan finds him and they have yet another battle. Silver loses and leaves after remarking that Ethan will never catch a legendary pokemon.

From there, he makes his way to Olivine City, intent on getting another badge, only to find that Jasmine, the gym leader is off tending to a sick pokemon, much to his disgust. He briefly runs into Ethan and tells him that the gym leader's off being a bleeding heart. There's no battle this time. Presumably, Silver follows Ethan to Cianwood. While there, he also steals a pokemon from Mania. It was a Sneasel. After that he fights the gym leader and then presumably follows Ethan back to Olivine, where, once Ethan's done with Jasmine, he battles her and gains another badge.

Silver then makes his way up to Mahogany Town - following the rumours of a red Gyarados at the lake of Rage. However, on arriving, he finds that it's no longer there THANKS ETHAN. So he leaves in a huff. Back in town, he notices that Ethan's vanished into the Mart, and on investigation it shows that there's a hidden stairway. Silver enters and somewhere along the way he runs into Lance and is beaten, rather badly, at a pokemon battle. He's furious enough that when he runs into Ethan a bit further in, he makes disparaging remarks before stalking off in a sulk.

It's only chance that he's at the radio tower in Golden Rod when Ethan tries too sneak in. He linefaces at lot and unmasks him, but tells him that he'll allow them to handle this - but in reality, it was just a ploy - he was tailing the boy in hopes of finding Lance. He reveals this to Ethan down in the base under the underground tunnel in Goldenrod. Another battle that he loses* and it's here that he starts to question himself, but informs Ethan that he's not going to give up his dream.

From there, he works on training his Pokemon, sparing them no mercy as he works to prove that he's not weak, gaining the last two badges along the way, before heading back to Ecruteak, where he loses to the kimono girls - though only just - He's told that he's not worthy of becoming a trainer to a legendary - not yet anyway. He bumps into Ethan again and off-handedly tells the younger kid to be careful - the girls are strong. He then leaves with his hands in his pocket - heading to Victory Road, crushing trainers in his wake. Though he did get lost a bit in Victory road, but near the end, he faced off against Ethan and lost*, though the match was a close one. Though this time, he at least managed to take it semi-gracefully.

He heads east, back across Tojoh falls and onto Viridian. Here he took to doing some training, determined not to be weak. Somewhere along the way, he picked up a backpack and turned 17.

Three months latter found him up in Mt Moon, training his pokemon when he ran into Ethan, having heard rumours that the Johto champ was missing from his post at the League travelling around. He was surprised to see that these rumours had truth, though even with Ethan being the champ, Silver's attitude towards him never changed. The battle though was incredible - two strong trainers duking it out in the caves, though eventually, Ethan came out on top, if only just, and Silver took the loss with far more grace than he once would have. He decided that he'd head to Dragon's Den and walked off to the local pokecentre. Pokemon healed, he headed off towards Dragon's Den.

After a short while training his pokemon, Ethan appears - it seems the boy had taken his advice and followed him. Not long after, Lance and Clair show up and together, Ethan and Silver manage to take them down, Silver's pokemon pulling through because the player kept reviving/healing them.

It's not long after this battle that Silver finds himself back in Vatheon.

( Personality ) :
Silver is not your friend - and he makes that clear from the get go. Even after he's had all the time in canon, he's still not your friend. Somewhat more friendly, yes, but. Not the player's friend.

Silver takes after his father in a lot of ways. He's selfish, cold, cruel and callous, not only to Pokemon, but people as well. He's implied to have father issues, presumably because he was raised with the mentality that the strong rule the weak and when his father was defeated, the man fled, leaving Silver alone. Silver saw this as major weakness. Not only had the man lost, but he was a coward, disbanded Team Rocket and fled, only thinking of himself. Should his father ever turn up again, Silver will be cold, bratty and possibly pitch a bitch about it. He does blame the man for leaving him - he was a coward, too. Why would he want to be associated with him?

That being said, Silver did at one stage hold love for him, but he's done a damn good job of pushing that away and focusing only on the negative. Silver's relation with his father prior to this was a bit distant, but loving. Distant as his father was Head of Team Rocket/a business man and a Gym Leader so he was pretty busy. Not that Silver minded - he had the best dad in the world who'd get him most things he wanted.

However, that hero worship is in the past, and today Silver is callous, especially in the way that he views his Pokemon: They are mere tools of war and he only keeps the strongest, releasing or abandoning those he deems to be weak and unworthy. He will never be the type to show more than passing concern for his pokemon in public unless it is extremely dire circumstances.

He still struggles with valuing the rest of his pokemon and being a less abusive trainer - when he first started on his journey, he treated his team roughly - considering them less than dirt for they were disposable. After almost a year and several heavy losses, he's getting better - gaining trust from each of his pokemon. While they get stronger, he still pushes them 'til they are exhausted and gives them no rest or quarter and this is noted to be a stark contrast to many other trainers who care for their pokemon. However, since the battle with Lance and the humiliating loss to Ethan at Victory Road, Silver has been working on how he treats his pokemon, resulting in his Golbat evolving into a Crobat. Though Silver's not one to allow others to see him being kind to animals. It's a weakness, and the less anyone knows about him, the better. Though heaven help anyone who dares to steal his pokemon. His property of course, he's not attached to them at all. Really.

Silver's attitude towards a happy pokemon can be summed up as this: The more happier his tools are, the stronger they seem so maybe it has some worth. All that matters in the end are strong pokemon, and if that means somewhat happy pokemon, then so be it. He's still strict and callous towards them, but not outright abusive. He's still got a lot to learn in this regard, so the while the going is slow, it's there.

With people, his attitude is much the same and will not make him friends easily; it can be implied that he's a loner, either by choice or nature and is rather abrasive and outright dismissive at points towards those he perceives to be weaker than him, even if they beat him at something, IE: Pokemon battle. They are, in his eyes, still weak and in his own words, a waste of time and effort. It's possible that he would, if presented with the opportunity, form a network of alliances that are useful to him, and over time, warm up to the idea of respecting someone even if they appear weak. He'd a person who judges a book by the cover. In regards to Ethan, Silver holds mixed feelings for the other teen. He hated him to start with, but over time, Silver's come to develop a grudging respect, but it's not a friendship by a long way. If pushed, Silver would protect the other, if only out of selfish interest.

Love, trust and friendship are not traits that he allows to show often and he ruthlessly suppresses them - a product of his father's abandonment at 13. Silver has a slight fear of this, and as a result, keeps people at arms length. It doesn't hurt as much, or so he fools himself into thinking. This is a viewpoint that has only started to recently change, slowly coming to realise that he cannot stand alone to reach his goals. That trust, faith and above all, love, are what will ultimately help him reach them. It is not an easy journey to say the least, but it's a road that Silver needs to travel down....

He's also started to mellow and somewhat thaw, even if he hides it behind cold words and harsh looks. It's more noticeable in his actions and how he's started to treat people. While yes, he still is a callous young man who's a bully, he's also starting to become somewhat 'kinder' towards others and he's generally less abusive towards his pokemon that he was at the start. He's started to form friendships - though he would hardly classify them as such. It's still doubtful that Silver realises this fully, given that he seems to be in a flux at this point of the game; He knows that he needs to change, but he's still very much the type of person who'd run away from the changes. At this point in time, the thought to return the stolen pokemon to Professor Elm hasn't even crossed his mind.

In his own words, he'll be the greatest trainer and that means only have the strongest Pokemon and if that means a legendary as well, then so be it. He only wants Pokemon that can win. Losers are tossed to the wayside. He's also stated outright that he hates (the current) Team Rocket and that when told they have returned, he scoffs at the idea. His father disbanded them and fled, but when shown otherwise, the Heir to the disbanded team clearly sets his mind of wiping the current incarnation out for good. This shows that once his mind's made up, nothing will change it, at all. After all, what good are weaklings? They'd only get underfoot right now. This is not to say that once Silver grows up a bit more that he'd carry the hate and bitterness around. Silver has never outright stated that he's no longer the heir, nor has he implied it, to my knowledge. He has however, stated, explicitly that that he doesn't want to be a coward like his father. Given the chance, Silver would risk his own life in order to prove that he's not coward. He'd the shrug it off and down play it though, even going so far as to dent that it had any selfless intent.

Noticeably in the games is his constant derision and condescending treatment of Ethan, going so far as to physicality push him aside once or twice and tell him constantly, that he's not good enough. It's also noted that he's like this with other trainers - he had no qualms about being a bully, or lying or deceiving them to get what he wants. The fact that he steals his starter is a hint to to the fact that yes, he's willing to do whatever he wants, even breaking laws. The fact that he steals his Sneasel is another big hint at this, showing that he's not afraid to physically bully another into giving up a Pokemon, or in fact, outright thievery of it. He's also not afraid to use a pokemon in such a manner, implying that he does what he wants and gives no fucks about it.

In a nutshell, Silver is cold, cruel, rough, hates the weak and is a bully. However, he does have the capacity to change - and is trying too, though it will take time and effort on all parts, and there will be more than a few backslides into what he knows.


( Strengths/Weaknesses ) :
Not much is shown, so I did the best I could.
+ he's shown on several occasions to shove Ethan out of the way, showing that he's obviously fit and has decent upper body strength.
+ Borrowing from the manga, Silver's stated to be a bit of acrobat. It's reasonable to assume that this carries over to his game counterpart.
+ He's fast and fit.
+ Street smarts and battle smarts. He seems to be a bit of a detective as well, or at least good at spotting things.
+/- Heir to Team Rocket.

- Arrogant, condescending and callous.
- Daddy issues.
- doesn't make friends easily.

( History ) :
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Zack_Fair#Early_Life

( Personality ) :

One would think that a genetically and physically enhanced fighter out of his Planet’s most elite military unit would be a bit more serious. While Zack has his moments and knows when to get down to work, he’s surprisingly cheerful and kind. He’s rarely if ever rude or standoffish to a stranger or someone he cares about, unless they’ve done something to warrant it. He’s usually wearing a smile, and has no problem approaching people and striking up a conversation. Part of this stems from him just being very outgoing. It’s also due to him having an incredible amount of confidence. In Crisis Core, an NPC asks Zack who’s the best looking person in Midgar. One of the dialogue options is: “Are you blind? Me, of course!” Luckily Zack isn’t obnoxious about his confidence. Rather, it just comes naturally to him. He’s good looking and a good fighter, and he knows it.

On top of that, he’s something of a flirt. When he first meets Cissnei, he thinks she’s a damsel in distress and immediately goes to her rescue. He’s surprised to find she’s a Turk. Nonetheless, that doesn’t stop him from flirting with her a bit and trying to be charming. This is even more the case when he first meets Aerith. After crashing through the roof of the church she’s in, he quickly offers her a date with him in thanks for helping him wake up.

A lot of his more outstanding traits (his cheerfulness, flirtatiousness, naivety) slowly wears down a bit and is kept more in check as he grows older. Some of it is the result of simple aging; one does a lot of growing up between the ages of 16 and 23. But the events concerning Genesis and Angeal, and ultimately the actions taken by Shinra and SOLDIER make him become a little cynical. It’s seen in the later parts of Crisis Core: he’s less enthusiastic about his missions and a bit more sarcastic. Actually, more of his interactions in general take more of a snarky/sarcastic tone as the game progresses. Nonetheless, despite his development, he still remains an unfailingly happy ball of energy.
