Name : Asus Crimen (Nick: Ace) Gender: Male Date of birth : 18th of March [15]
Appearance: Standing at 5 feet two, Asus isn't a very interesting looking young man. He has spiky, magenta hair but if it grows long enough it droops down, instead. Asus has a bright, sunny face on most of the time, with rather large eyes and a friendly smile.
His standard fare clothing include a red and black sleeveless vest and brown cargo jeans. All the left sleeves of his shirts are either torn off or folded and sewn, which reveals a large scar on his forearm. This skin on the scar is smooth and shiny, and has a starburst shape. Asus does this to remind himself and others that fire is a useful but dangerous tool, and should be grateful but wary.
History: Asus grew up locally in a wholesome, caring family that owns a diner that specializes in barbecue, grilling and roasting. His mother, Berry, is a retired coordinator and proud owner of an Arcanine and a Vulpix, whereas his father, Lucas, was a special effects specialist that was working on one of the stages that Berry was to participate in. Lucas and Berry got together after the competition and found that they shared a lot in common, and that Lucas also has a team of Fire Pokémon that help him out with his job, his favorite Pokémon being his Torkoal. Soon they got married and got a diner of their own, where they and their Pokémon settled down.
Now, the family diner has a gimmick where they roast and burn and cook all the dishes out in the open for the customers to see. They implement small performances to entertain their guests while cooking, while Lucas' Torkoal acts as the stove for most of their dishes. One day, while he was stir-frying some food over Mama Coal, Asus wanted to get his attention but tripped, and his forearm pressed onto Mama Coal. That night, the diner closed down to rush Asus to treatment, as he suffered from 2nd degree burns.
At the age of 6, Berry and Lucas gave Asus his first Pokémon to help him better understand reponsibility: a baby Torkoal. Small enough to fit within his two palms, it was only a week old when he got it and Asus named him Smokey. They bonded quickly and became very good friends. The year after that, while Asus was playing "I'm-a-grown-up-Trainer" in the forests, he and Smokey set fire to a small portion of said forest. It took half the town to put it out and Asus was reprimanded strongly.
Since then, there weren't many events, as Asus grew wary of the dangers of fire, though he did take up cooking as his hobby and was a favorite past time to bond with the Pokémon and his parents. His passion for cooking grew and he promises himself to expand his culinary palette and expertise.
Interactions with Pokemon: Asus has a lot of experience dealing with Fire-types as both his parents owned several of them. He's well aware of their potential power, but is also wary and cautious of them. He grew up with an Arcanine and a Vulpix that belongs to his mother, as well as a Torkoal, a Golduck and a Magmortar, which belongs to his father.
Personality: - JUSTICE
Asus believes that all wrongs should be righted. Although he won't go out of his way to right every wrong, he strongly opposes any illicit activity.
- Strong thirst for knowledge
Asus is a very curious person and likes to seek out knowledge, although primarily for culinary related things. However, if he comes across something relatively interesting, he can absorb information fairly quickly.
- Friendly
Asus has been brought up to understand that all people have a chance to be good provided that they are given one. He tends to think the best of everyone, sometimes to the point of naivety.
- Experienced Chef
Asus spent alot of his childhood cooking with his father, and has inherited the Crimen cooking style. As such, he has packed cooking supplies to bring along on his journey. (a pair of spatulas, a bottle of cooking oil and some condiments)
- Wary of fire
Despite all his experience with handling fire, he still fears the unpredictabilty of it. He has a pair of fire-proof gloves that he uses often with his cooking, just like his father.
Pre-starter information:
Smokey, LV4 Torkoal White Smoke Ember||Smog Smokey, his Torkoal plays a rather large role in his life. And in his cooking. Asus and his father both use their Torkoal and specializes in this unique cooking style. The Crimen-style of cooking consists of many flamboyant gestures and overly-dramatic presentation, as it is not only a cooking style but also a means of entertaining guests.
Goals in Cheyenne: Asus wants to explore the world, instead of being confined with his parents and is an aspiring trainer. Amongst his travels, he intends to discover new cooking styles and potential ingredients to use while progressing his culinary skills beyond his current level.

Hellooooo~ welcome to Cheyenne! Don't worry if we all use a lot of graphics. You'll be fine! Some members like to make templates and banners, so we end up requesting stuff from them every now and then.
Appearance: It was confusing until I read the history, but that works!
History: Looks great! Have you ever watched Fighting Foodons? Totally reminds me of this.
Personality: None of these are personality traits. Friendly comes close, but you could say that about anyone. I'm looking for something more in tune with the character. Like, what he's REALLY about. Not how he is on the outside or how others see him. You can keep what you have, but you'll need 3 more personality traits.
There are a few reference sites in the character app, in case you need any ideas.
Pre-starter: Looks great!
::torkoal:: Level 1 or 4 White Smoke Ember||[Smog at level 4]
I also saw what you were saying on the cbox about Torkoal's movepool, and when you have enough cash, you can buy an attack from the seasonal move tutor. pokemoncheyenne.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=lab&action=display&thread=24582&page=1
Seriously, check her out.
