Application
The Basics:
Nation: Spain
Name of Character: Antonio Fernandez Carriedo
Age: 18
Gender: male
Appearance:
Eyes: Emerald green
Hair: chocolate brown. Always messy.
Other features: Perpetual shadow of a grin on his face. Tan, and pretty muscular, but far from being buff.
Character Background:
Personality: Antonio’s not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, but at least you can be sure he won’t be the tool to cut you. Unless you happen to hurt things or people he holds. Then of course, he’ll get uglier on you than a conquistador on virgin lands. Other than that, Antonio is actually very dense to the point of being tactless. But he’s got a good heart and doesn’t mean to do it on purpose.
Antonio’s the kind of person who makes every day a sunny day (probably thinks every day is one, too, no matter how thundering). He’s got a big heart and big things on his brain. Like tomatoes. And cute stuff. And his Squirtle. And the two adorable boys that also live in his hometown. And well, other things, too, he’s pretty sure. Antonio’s a mouth on him, and a love for life that was just too big to keep it in, so you’ll have to forgive him. (Not that hard to do, really.)
All in all, he’s a persistent, passionate, happy-go-lucky kind of fellow you don’t forget easily.
Town/City of origin: Miliumis
Background: Miliumis might be a lively kind of town that always chattered and thrived with life and those who loved it, but Antonio’s home was more on the outskirts of town, out in the tranquil plains. It wasn’t so far off into the tall grass so that they were prone to sudden appearances of wild Pokemon, but it was close enough to meet one or two that wander onto the farm he lived on. Caterpie in the tomato fields. A Pidgey with a broken wing seeking shelter in the bushes. A Rattata injured from a fight with a belligerent one. Things like that weren’t uncommon, and Antonio would nurse them back to health and set them back into the wild.
When Antonio was young, going to town was a real adventure. Seeing the streets so crowded, with the harbor garnering the most spectators watching the Gyarados racing and and the Magikarp fishing. Town was only half an hour’s walk away, but it was very different than what he was used to.
It was on one of these visits to town that he met the Vargas twins, who were cuter than that Jigglypuff that danced into his tomato fields the other time. Feliciano was happy and smiled all the time, but Romano. He didn’t think Romano liked him as much. (Which was a pity, because he liked Romano very, very much.)
But then Romano ran away on what Feliciano said was a “miraculous journey.” Initially, he had half a mind to go running after him, but he realized that while the fact that he wouldn’t be able to see Romano again greatly saddened him, he shouldn’t be selfish, and let Romano pursue whatever he wanted to do. Even if that meant Antonio wasn’t included. But things were just so very empty without anyone scowling at him or calling him names.
Shortly after, Antonio was gifted a Squirtle by a relative to help him out on the farm. And life seemed less listless with him by his side to help water the plants.
One day, it dawned on Antonio that he should embark on his own miraculous journey. Life here was all fine and dandy, but what about everything else? What about all the other Pokemon that needed help like the ones that end up meeting him?
And so with his Squirtle by his side, he left his farm to a relative, and set off into the tall grass.
Relations with other characters:
Feliciano: Childhood friend. Awfully cute.
Romano: Also childhood friend. Equally as cute, especially when he turns all red.
((Pretty sure there’s gonna be more. Like what’s a Spain without the Akuyuu? But we’ll just leave it at that for now.))
Starter Pokemon:
Species: Squirtle
Name: Felicidad
Gender: male
Level: ???
Ability: Torrent
Other: Its moves include Bubble, Water Gun, and Skull Bash. Generally very jolly, but can quickly put on his game face when the time comes. Doesn’t really like to sit still for a time. Can also be a bit of a skirt chaser, trying to get ladies to cuddle and pet him.
The rest
Anything else you'd like to add:
OKAY. Hopefully I didn’t miss anything.
Anyway, so um. Still pretty new to RPing, and this is my first time RPing Spain, so I hope I did okay. :)
