the real important stuff
APPEARANCE»»» His rugged appearance is set off by his intimidating height. Standing at 6"1 while slouching and then 6"3 standing up straight his height is rather impressive. He has a bit of a scraggily beard and he keeps it that way because he thinks it looks cool, just a bit of his arrogant side. His hair is a dark reddish brown color and it spikes violently in the front and a little bit in the back. He wears a half buttoned white shirt and a pair of overtly long cargo pants that drag the ground a little bit, just in case he grows taller. He is a bit on the tan side because of his outdoor habits, but not too terribly dark. He is extremely scrawny, unlike his brothers that looked like bodybuilders on steroids. He is the scrawniest in his family but the tallest out of all his siblings and even taller than his father. His height comes from his mother. She’s 6”2. His eyes are an emerald green color and often look mischievous even if he has nothing of the nature planned. The most important part of his appearance of course is his necklace. It is a small shiny stone that is black and red in color. When you hold it up to the light it shines brilliantly, the red streak shines the brightest. It is the same color of a foxes fur and he often looks at it to remind him of his longtime friend.
He prefers to slouch rather than sit up straight anyday and will argue with anyone that tells him its bad for his back. He can almost always be seen with a cigarette in hand or in mouth, seeing how as his chain smoking has gotten a little out of hand. He has somewhat large feet, but thats only to be expected with someone as large as he is. He has a smile that could wow a crowd in minutes and perfectly straight teeth. Vain about his appearance he won't let a single speck of dirt fall before he tries to clean it off.
PERSONALITY»»» Canicus has a bit of a rugged appearance as far as most peacekeepers go and even though he may be a pretty boy by trade, he doesn't mind the occasional good fight every now and again. He is a bit on the cocky side and isn't afraid to show it to anyone. He is a bit of a ladies man and likes to show off his "mad skills" in front of any pretty ladies he finds. He tells people to call him "Dev" or some other ridiculous variation of his name, sometimes it has absolutely nothing to do with his name. His favorite thing to tell people to call him is actually by his middle name Sullivan so most people think that it is his actual name, even his parents would call him Sullivan, forgetting that they had actually named him Canicus. His parents didn’t really know anything about him when you come down to it. But then again as far as names go he tells different things to different people, therefore many people know him by many different names. This just so happens to get him into a lot of trouble, especially with the ladies and he has stopped counting how many times he's been slapped or hit over the head with something for his antics. Even with his wild behavior and questionable motives, he has a bit of a soft side and loves most bugs.
He likes to sit in solitude when nobody is around and wait quietly for some creatures to pass by so that he may try to sketch them. He is extremely critical of his drawings and hardly ever lets anyone see them or even know that he can draw. He didn’t want anyone to make fun of him for his ambitions again; he got enough of that when he was younger from his older brothers. He carries the necklace with the stone that he got from the fox that he named Rev from his hometown with him everywhere and can't bear to take it off. He freaks out if he ever thinks that he lost it and goes on a rampage if he thinks that someone has stolen it. It is his greatest treasure and won't ever take it off. He won't, on normal occasions, even let anyone touch it.
He likes to eat sweets himself and can often be found trying to beg some off the expert candy makers that would pass through his hometown on the way to their next big thing. He isn't afraid to speak his mind and does it often, which of course drags him into even more trouble with everyone. His favorite flavor of candy is a mixture between Spicy and Sweet. He really hates the dry flavored foods though and they makes him sick to his stomach. He often reflects on his childhood in the woods and often misses his old friend Rev. He can’t stand the memories of his parents though and often dismisses the idea that they are actually his parents, he thinks he was left there by the bugs since they couldn’t take care of a human baby. How he got in the bugs hands to begin with he doesn’t know but he likes the theory. He also thinks that his brothers were actually gorillas in disguise. Not that there was any grounds to that theory either but it fit, they were both muscle bound morons in his opinion. He doesn’t like to talk about his past to just anyone and it often takes a lot to get to know the quiet and serene side of him, rather than just the wild and rambunctious side.
HISTORY»»» Ever since he was a little child, Canicus wanted to grow up and be a great candy maker, to stand out from his older brothers. He had two of them, both of them deciding to been chosen for the ways of the Pokemon trainer. Even though there town was a gathering point for sweets makers, the people thought that it was wrong of him to become a candy maker and to go against his parents wishes of him becoming a normal brawler. They never stopped teasing him and his parents allowed it, he began to doubt his own choice, whether or not it was the right thing to do. Should he follow his heart and become a candy maker or follow the rest of the people's advice and become a regular brawler like the rest of the boys in town? Should he give up his dream or no?
He learned when he was very young that the only place that he was safe from his brothers and the rest of the people in town was in the woods. He occupied his time learning about the different animals that lived there and began to make friends with them as well. He learned to draw so that when he couldn’t go out into the woods he could look back on his drawings and still see all of his animal friends. While he was playing in the woods one day a big storm was starting to come up on him. He was saying goodbye to all of the animals for the day and started on his walk home. The storm started before he could get home and the wind was terrible. He could hear the cries of what sounded like a fox though and decided to investigate the situation. He saw that a small baby fox, fresh out of nest was getting blown around by the storm and was holding on for dear life. He rescued the fox and stayed the night in the woods, sheltered by some bushes that were thick and helped to keep him dry. The fox had gotten sick from the storm so he stayed in the woods for a week straight, nursing the poor thing back to the peak of health.
He couldn’t afford medicine so he would make some out of berries that were known for healing wounds on animals and people alike. After the fox was back in perfect health they became fast friends and went everywhere in the woods together. They had become the best of friends that a pokemon and a human possibly could. He had to come into town some days and on one of these days, when his brothers were teasing him in town and everyone was passing it by, a male trainer walked by while they were doing some particularly nasty name-calling. He saw what was going on and asked what was happening. Unaware that the man was a candy maker as well, they told him the entire story about how their little brother wanted to be a sissy candy maker instead of a real man. Disgusted with how they were behaving he beat the living shit out of them, no problems. They griped and complained about it but then left Canicus alone about his dream. He never forgot that day and it locked his dream in his heart forever. Never again would he doubt what was in his heart and never again would he falter from his dream of becoming the greatest candy maker ever.
He wasn't ashamed of his choice anymore and soon everyone stopped bothering him about it. He read as much as he possibly could about being a Pokemon Trainer like his brothers and listened to as many rumors as he possibly could. He pursued the knowledge with rabid hunger and began looking forward to the day that he would receive his first Pokemon just like his brothers.
