VALEN FULL NAME: Valen AGE: 18 BIOLOGICAL GENDER: Male MEMBER GROUP: Explorer HOME COUNTRY: Invictus OCCUPATION: Orphanage resident, recruit POKEMON // WHAT ARE YOU? SPECIES: Eevee ABILITY: Adaptability LEVEL: 15 EGG MOVE AND CLASS BONUS: Endure, level 15 DRASTIC CHANGES: Albino OVERALL APPEARANCE For the most part, Valen is just an ordinary-looking young fox. The bushy tail, the long, pointed ears, the mane of thicker fur around his neck... well, of course, there is the fact that every bit of it is a silvery white, nearly to the point of offering no distinction between the color of the mane and the end of his tail with the rest of the fur. He claims to be a 'normal' enough shiny Eevee, but the pure red eyes especially give away the albinism. PERSONALITY // WHO ARE YOU? LIKES ✔running - give him an open field and something to chase after or flee from, and he'll be going all day long. More than anything, he likes being on the move. ✔berries - what can he say? He can't get enough of the things. Maybe it's just something about the varying flavors, or havinng lived off them for a while. ✔confrontation - one could easily call him 'reckless', but really, it's more so that he likes to challenge himself... and, ideally, win. DISLIKES ✖secrets - fair to say, while he likely should have some, Valen has none... and likes to know the secrets of those around him just as well. ✖control - Valen, for the most part, does what he wants, when he wants. Anyone telling him otherwise will have to have some good reasoning. ✖help - Certainly, everyone has limits, and things they can't do. Certainly, he'll often offer his time to help someone else. But if he can't do something on his own, he often fails to see the point, and won't be too pleased about it even if it does get done. HABITS ►flirting - hopeless, a bit shameless... according to his lost mother, he takes after his father. Which, in reality, wouldn't be a huge stretch. ►expressive tics - honest and open as Valen is, his ears and tail tend only to further that: giving occasional twitches, or shifting certain ways, that those familiar enough with him can easily read into what he's thinking. FEARS ►being alone - for all his faults and claims and even wildness, never mind the fact of him being an orphan, this is, in a general sense, Valen's one, primary fear. More specifically, he's perfectly fine being off on his own with nobody around; rather, it's a consistent, biting fear under the surface that others don't care about him as much as they might show. OVERALL Reckless, uncontrollable... to many, Valen is a 'loose cannon' type who they worry might set off at any moment. It would not be a wholly inaccurate observation; after all, more often than not he gets himself into some sort of trouble, or in over his head. He himself, however, likes to think of it as a 'controlled wildness'; freeing himself from common shackles while still being a type to try and go along with others. No doubt, Valen has his fair share of faults, and knows it quite well, but all of them belie an honest to a fault nature that ultimately doesn't hold back much of anything that he's thinking. Whether he's friendly as can be, or highly aggressive, it just depends on the situation and his thinking on the matter, and any individuals he sees and only judges as such, with no regard for their title or species. HISTORY // BUT WHY? From the start, Valen's mother knew the Lopunny was... less than trustworthy. But he was charming, he was bold; he was a 'bad' element in the Glaceon's 'normal' life as the daughter of a shopkeeper that some part of her sorely desired. A normal desire, even according to her friends, but one to keep in check! After all, a bit of 'badness' was fine, but too much? Well, 'too much' led to a child born not long after the 'relationship', of a sort, started. 'Too much' led to arguments, led to quibbles about morality... led to the still very young Valen being taken off by his father, only to occasionally visit back home. Thus, from the start, he had that 'bad' influence just close by, seeing some of his father's dealings, being taught a little by the Lopunny here and there. How to read, how to deal with other pokemon, how to run, how to fight; little was off-limits, given his father's lifestyle of an outlaw, if just one that skirted a little ways outside the law. 'Winning' was fair game; something like taking a life was not. So, eight years of Valen's life were spent mostly wandering with his father and learning from him, going around the outskirts of Invictus many times to elude would-be pursuers. Inevitably, his father was eventually caught for miscellaneous crimes he'd commited around the region, and the young Eevee with him. And with his mother having moved to a different country with her parents, and thus nowhere to immediately be found, Valen was carted off to an orphanage and a 'better home away from his outlaw father'... for all of a week or so. His father had eluded anyone seeking to control him for a good number of years, so why couldn't he? From there, Valen simply... ran. Far and fast, wherever his feet would take him, developing a certain penchant for berries that were his prime source of food here and there along the way. Occasionally, he got caught, and lacking anywhere to actually go, sent off to some orphanage or other. Every time, he ran off to somewhere entirely different, a lingering worry in his mind that they'd think something bad of him if ever he wound up being sent back to some orphanage he'd already been to. Eventually, though, something about it simply got... tiring. So, after being caught swiping berries, he was sent off to one more orphanage in Fiphele... and there he stays. Well, maybe not stays, given his need to still roam some, live life as an explorer... but at least comes back to for food and a place to sleep for multiple years now. The folks there aren't so bad, really... even if he is old enough to be on his way out. He kind of likes it there, so he's not leaving; to him, that's all there is to it, even if he does have to put up with some work there from time to time. OOC // WE UNDERSTAND |
