Deceptive Ambition

History's not done yet, but I'll throw this out there in the interest of having something up. I'm not really sure how to pull out three solid paragraphs for a kid with who I imagine as having a fairly uneventful life.

Name: Mytho (Myüto) Yanagi
Sex: Boy, and no. HE'S JUST A KID, DAMMIT, YOU'RE SICK.
Age: 13
Appearance: He's about four feet, ten inches tall and pale-ish. He has a trim figure, but not especially athletic. That is, he's decently fit, but not much beyond that. His most striking feature is his gray pinstripe fedora, which he constantly wears down over his left eye. With that, he wears a snug-fitting black T-shirt, a simple black leather belt, and dark blue jeans. As accessories go, he wears a conservative silver neck-chain with a stylized Dragonair pendant on it, a silver pocket watch without a face (so that the mechanism is visible behind the hands), and a black leather bracelet tooled with an elaborate braided design that looks like a Japanese person tried to imitate Celtic knotwork from a description. His shoes are shiny black leather; he seems to polish them regularly.

He's almost never without a pocketknife of one sort or another, his wallet, his watch, and his cell phone. He usually has a handkerchief if he has a clean one on hand. He also has a seemingly infinite supply of sweets on him at all times; usually Botan rice candy, but sometimes hard candies or caramels. If he carries a carrying device of some sort, he has a black canvas messenger bag.

He's becoming a bit harder to shuffle out of the way now that he's older, and he really needs friends, so his parents are sending him for pokemon.
Personality: He fancies himself suave, whether or not he actually is. He has his own way of dressing and doing things. As you probably noticed, he has a sweet tooth, with caramels, brownies, and mochi being his main weaknesses. He's confident, and he tends to get pretty well into whatever he does. In fact, most of what he's wearing is from various past phases he's had - it's eclectic, but it's definitely "him."
Pokemon: Dratini (Wrap, Leer, Dragon Pulse)
Pokedex: Black and minimalist... then covered with the little stickers out of rice candy boxes.
History: Mytho comes from Saffron City, where he lived with fairly wealthy parents in an apartment just East of the department store. His Mom worked as a receptionist there for a while, and she bought him a lot of stuff there with her employee discount. So, he's been well-entertained, but also sort of blocked out; his parents were very much of the "give the kid something to shut him up" strategy. That sort of played into and sort of spawned the semi-hardcore, gadget-oriented fan part of his personality.

He had a girlfriend once, then she ran off with a bug catcher. He never saw her again. Rumor has it she dumped him when she found out he was a loser, and is an intern at a minor pokemon center in Hoenn. So, Mytho's decided to wait on girls for a while after that one.

Other: "I shall defeat you with the magikarp my parents gave me!" "YOUR PARENTS DIDN'T LOVE YOU!"

Nicely done so far, Wyvarn!

Just so everyone knows, the RP will not be put up this weekend. Probably late the following week, since I will be traveling from Pennsylvania to Louisiana after the weekend.

Also, we're expecting snow tomorrow.

Dammit.

Snow? (checks forecast) Damn! I don't even have my winter coat in the state yet! This could be a problem...

No snow for my solicing heart...

It's as done as it's getting :X

Up here in the great white north, the only thing that I can effectively forecast is more gang-murders in the east end. They are really going nuts, must be the lingering dry cold. Drives me nuts too, but still, serial gang murder....

Name: Aaron
Sex: Male
Age: 13
Appearance: Starting from head to toes, Aaron is Caucasian with short, dirty blonde hair that's cut short, as if it was recently cut by a barber, with a short ‘overhang’ near the front of the scalp, where the 'bangs' would be. His skin is pretty much white with only the slightest hint of a tan. There are a few pimples scattered across his face, namely his forehead, but is otherwise clear. Aaron’s eyes are brown, and his ears seem to be a tad too small for his age.

Aaron typically wears a plain white T-shirt and dark blue jacket (top half is blue, bottom half black) for when it gets chilly, and is accompanied by blue cargo pants. The running shoes he wears are black, and judging by the soles, have been fairly well used. He also has one of those backpacks every trainer seems to have, but lacks the fingerless gloves for some reason. The only accessory that can be found on his body is a digital wristwatch.

Personality: Aaron could be described as someone who does not lean toward being extroverted or vice-versa when it comes to other people. He doesn’t try to avoid chit-chat, but does not actively seek it, either. He generally has a calm temperament, and tries not to let minor things bother him too much, although his temper will break if the problem persists. Although calm most of the time, he does tend to startle easily.

Pokémon: Growlithe (Bite, Roar, Morning Sun)
Pokèdex: Aaron's Pokèdex hasn't received anything in the way of aesthetics. Just in its natural steel-gray color, a real eyesore.
History: (Explain their life leading up to this moment. Add details, three paragraphs minimum)
Other: (Anything else that you would like to add?)


Herp derp. Posting my crap sheet here to prove I was actually writing it. Will improve and add history tomorrow.

... magic number man, I'm sorry to tell you this but your about 2 aspects of me off from having it perfect. it would seem the surveillance you must have done to create a character so eerily similar to me has failed. so I say HA.

also, I would never choose a fire type.

XD

Gais. I can't decide.

Drifloon - What's more to say? It's an awesome pedoballoon. Seriously. Go read it's Pokedex entry.
Larvesta - One of my favorite Pokemon (Along with its evolution)
Nincada - When he evolves, I get two in one. Plus, Ninjask has the highest speed 'cept for Speed forme Deoxys and Shedinja's ability is badass.

Drifloon. Now! GO!! DDOOO IITTTT!!!!!!!!

Dammit, I need more people to vote for me.

I REQUIRE OUTSIDE INPUT.

PedoBalloon! Ominous Wind is the Epik Pwnzer along with it'll take you where you wanna go. Then take little kids too!

... amon-ra, are you insane? do I need to take you to the institute? The nice men in white coats will take good care of you, I promise...

OH GOD. THAT WOULD BE TERRIBLE. MY CHARACTER IS A GIRL. LEAVING HER WITH A PEDOBALLOON IS NONSENSE.

How about a flaming pedo bear?

PEDO BEAR ON FIRE AH GAWD.

Pff. Already been there. And no, I am perfectly sane, sane than everyone here in fact! MuaHAhHhahHAHHAahahAH!!! You know how easy it is to get out of those weird sleeved suits? It's not!

Pfft, getting out is easy. the real trick is never getting put in one. it's so hard to make people think you're just like everyone else...

OH I can't believe you just said that to me! That was so Uncalled for Mr. J. Your crazy man. Crazy.

A little bit of insanity is good for mental health. Take it from the expert!

I have never been tied up so tightly that I could not escape. Though I was worried that one time at camp when they used all 120 feet of safety rope, put me backwards in a sleeping bag, and then put me in a randomly drifting canoe.

The hell kind of camps do you go to, Zorthax?

That's *probably* a joke.

That's alot of rope.

He was pribably at one of the Fun Canadian ones.

you mean all of them? Like, literally all of them?

do you guys have any parks in the US that you can walk in a straight line, only turning to go around lakes and other such obstacles, for 1 week, and still not make it out of? and not have it be the widest part of the park(so not like "it's 1 mile wide, but 70 long...")?

Not sure, but most of Alaska is either wildlife refuge or state park of one sort or another. So in the interior, probably, yeah.
