Full Name: Nate River, known as Near. (Yes, Death Note.)
Gender: Male.
Age: 20
Appearance: Near is 155 cm tall (5' 0"), weighs 87 pounds (39.5 kg) and is a thin male who has very pale white skin and emotionless slate-grey irises. He is very thin and has his nails trimmed into what appear to be claws, though he uses these to climb rather than to injure. He wears baggy blue jeans and, unlike other people, doesn’t wear shoes. Because of this, the skin on his feet have hardened and he has grown accustomed to just walking around barefoot.
Near has Absol-like white hair which is short but quite messy and untamed. He may seem a bit wild at times but deep down he is still quite childish. He tends to twirl his hair in his hand and he wears a loose white shirt which has a thick collar on it. Even though he is built for running, he doesn’t move faster than a slow walk, even if he is walking at all. His muscles are well defined though it’s clear he doesn’t exercise much, but even so he shouldn’t be taken lightly. He can easily leap up the face of a cliff.
Some people mock him because of his ears - ever heard of Star Trek? Well, his ears resemble those of a Vulcan, and his personality resembles one also - emotionally reserved, logically thoughtful. His ears taper up into a thin, fine point and he has a long black tail which resembles an Absol's. It is sharp and knife-shaped and covered with sleek black fur. Though it looks like it would be straight, he can bend it to help him land on his feet when he falls or flips, and he will groom it every day to keep it from matting.
Background: Near doesn’t discuss his background, but he was raised similar to Silver – in a forest, but that forest burned down at around the same time. Some people think that they are siblings, but in truth they are not even close to related. Near and Silver met in the forest and as they were growing up, came to trust each other a lot and eventually found that they were more than friends.
Over time their loyalty to each other was as big as their friends’ and they met in the middle of a storm – Near and Silver – and found somewhere to sleep. When Near was going to admit this, the fire broke out and they were separated in the panic of Pokemon, and Near believed Silver to be alive. He spent his entire life looking for her because she is the only true person that he has ever admired. Both were nameless throughout their lives, and like John, he grew up with a partner who John – Silver’s friend – came to love. She was a Houndour who, like John, kept him warm at night. She is a very protective partner, again like John, who helped him to find berries and fought off intruders.
Personality: Near is a person who shows little emotion when it is possible and isn’t afraid to say what he thinks. As soon as he senses something is wrong, he will start to get people away from it as quickly as possible. As soon as he and his faithful friend, Luna, spot trouble, they will head toward it but only if they have personal interest in it. Near tends not to get in the way of nature but if Silver is with him – which they guaranteed to be together in a majority of the RolePlay – then he will help just for her. He is at peace with himself; by this, he has no doubt, no anger or confusion deep within his heart, which makes him a confident, act-on-knowledge person.
Some people call him a monster because he appears not to care about anything, but he takes no notice and carries on with what he is doing. Believing that their opinions are obsolete without concrete evidence to support them, he will ignore them and focus on what he is doing. He doesn’t do things without a reason and prefers to turn to logic for his answers, but he is someone who you don’t want to mess with...
Info: Near is an Absol Pokemorph. He can sense oncoming disasters to some extent, or sense if something bad is going to happen and he has increased hind leg strength, making him able to run faster and jump higher than a "normal human". (Note: The sensing part is heightened from a normal human's 'impending sense of doom' if they are going to have a heart attack or something. It's not completely new, but because of his heritage, he experiences it to a higher level. Because of his Absol 'heritage', he tends to only show up when something's wrong, which scares people. He also has the odd habit of crouching on a tree or sitting in it with his legs propped up. This habit of climbing is from Silver - his partner.)
He has Vulcan-like ears and also a long black tail.
