Application
The Basics:
Nation: England
Name of Character: Arthur Kirkland
Age: 20
Gender: male
Appearance:
Eyes: sort-of forest green
Hair: shaggy, ash-blonde that tends to be matted down
Other features: a solemn face, with confidence and determination lying underneath, that can turn into a biting scowl or smirk. Arthur isn't exceptionally tall, but tall enough, and is a bit thinned out without being too weak. he will sometimes wear his glasses, but not normally.Eyebrows? Eyebrows.
Character Background:
Personality: Arthur is quite the dignified man, in all honesty. Serious and expecting the best out of everyone, but at the same time, a little bit fickle. You could call him temperamental, he's got a short fuse, sure. And, sure, he can seem a bit contentious, but he has control over himself enough to seem like a decent gentleman.
But he isn't one for attention, a bit of an introvert, finding comfort in books and afternoon tea and rain and big, cushy library chairs. A romanticist, but at the same time, enough of a realist so he isn't lost in his own wants.
Arthur is superstitious at best. And, on a different note, can be a bit fatherly at times.
Town/City of origin: Maresias, he used to sail, you know?
Background: Not to say the least, but Arthur was born in Maresias on the waves, hearing the crackling of the waves on the rocks and the calling of the wingulls overhead; honestly, he thought it was so distracting. At a young age, he got a feel for the dreamer's point of view in life with a mother who was an artist and used to tell stories of great trainers and legendary pokemon and lost cities. But, his father was a professor with a much more cynical view of the world, that would, later, affect his son. Arthur's life as a child was a normal one, playing on the sidewalk with school friend, having dinner with family every day, and the occasional scrape on the knee.
Arthur would often go into the city, at first, with his family, holding hands and visiting the shops. But as time passed, passed it did, it had been so long, he grew apart from his family, taking more trips away from home to research, to train, to write bits of poetry and stuff them into his pocket before rushing into the next thing. He just got older, time passed and things eased away.
But before his travels, he befriended Belgium, and not only taught her about pokemon but also about the world around them. Writing down everything along the way. Arthur eventually began to research ancient pokemon and travel to learn about the origins of his subjects and discover the world as it is in front of his eyes.
Relations with other characters:
Belgium; Was her mentor and friend, goes out drinking with her every once in a while. (Talked about it with her already.)
i know i want other relations, but i'll leave it open to edit and whatnot.
Starter Pokemon:
Species: Shinx
Name: Bess
Gender: female
Level: 15 (agh, is this okay? considering i come to think Arthur would be a bit more experienced of a researcher/trainer?)
Ability: intimidate
Other: tackle, bite, charge, leer. Arthur's Shinx is much like Arthur, but can be lazy and will back out of a fight easily. It's begun to take a liking to Arthur, and she can be a bit mischievous, trying to scare or startle him.
The rest:
Anything else you'd like to add: ack, totally my fault for doing the app after my account! sorry about that.
i really hope the pokemon choice is okay? i was going to stick with something else, but i think i played it safe, since i checked where you could find a shinx and it was everywhere.[/size]
