HISTORY:
Born into poverty, Merrick learned quickly that the only way to survive was to get what you needed when you could, and that was his mentality for years. As a growing child, he had taken many days going hungry, and at one point had almost died of starvation before he found food and slowly nursed himself back to health. What of his parents? His father was an alcoholic, and his mother... Well, her profession should be left unsaid, though you can probably guess from the situation. Due to his past, he became distant from others, and it didn’t help when he became a teenager, and discovered more about the world in which he ‘lived’.
While others often tried to get close to him, they were quickly scared off, for he often began to see everything around him as a threat, and therefore was unable to make friends with anyone. Even his best friend was scared away by his father, and this angered Merrick to such an extent that one night he killed them both, and has been on the run ever since. Years passed, and now he reached the age of 25, and when the Police stopped searching for him, he finally took to starting his own Pokémon Journey, and he intends to make it a hell of a good one. Talking about anything is difficult for him verbally, and if you mess with him you’re more than likely to get punched in the face. He’s not once spoken about himself to anyone, and he tries to suppress his ‘forgotten’ memories.
Merrick stowed away on a ship, in the process stealing new clothing - his current attire - from another passenger's bag, before he got off in the Allegro Region and decided to start a journey. Why, he doesn't exactly know himself - something to do, perhaps? Maybe he just wants to finally get power over others, and show them what he had to grow up in. Nobody knows...
PERSONALITY:
Merrick trusts no one and always keeps his distance, giving him a lone-wolf, mysterious personality. While he looks like a nice guy, he’s a guy who has mainly no emotion - as dead as stone, you could say. Nothing matters to him but his Pokémon and himself, and though he shows his ‘concern’ in various ways, none of them are through shedding tears. All through his life he has been an outcast, and if anyone is stupid enough to point this out to him, they’ll easily get a right hook in the jaw. Violence doesn’t matter to him, and he never shows fear – if you mess with him, you’re dead. That’s the simple, honest truth of it all.
You’ve probably seen those guys that nature applies to – who don’t bother getting out of their way to help Pokémon in need. If anything calls out to him, if he deems it weak or unfit to serve him, he won’t even glance in it’s direction. He’s as heartless and cruel as you can possibly get, and he loves to be out in snowstorms. If he wants something, he’ll get it – even if that means stealing it. Sooner or later, hell’s gonna break loose, and Merrick is gonna be right in the middle of it...
Merrick is a Croagunk Pokémorph, which adds to his sneaky personality and also explains why he is stronger than he appears to be. He can leap quite high and has faster reflexes, and has a heightened resistance to poison and toxic fumes. His hearing is very sharp, but he can't stand being off of the ground or seeing Psychic Pokemon. Secretly, whenever he sees a Police officer, he goes berserk inside. He has a strange attraction to Croagunk, and wishes to have one on his team, as he believes that they are strong.
He only likes strong, powerful Pokémon that can help him to push through his enemies and to strike down those oppose him. Merciless and brutal, he doesn’t even give newly hatched Pokémon any time to adjust – they’re sent straight into battle, where he feels they should be, since he had to struggle to survive from the get-go. And, like one of the pictures says...
I believe in killing the messenger. You know why? It sends a message.
APPEARANCE:
____Jaysin Merrick
____Jaysin Merrick
Merrick is the man that unfortunately all the women fall for; he has the iciest lazuline irises that extinguish the hottest fires, and thick ebony eyebrows that only bring out how pale his skin in. While his lips look like they are being pulled out toward you, his enchanting black hair graces his features and makes even men turn to look his way. This mysterious figure always dresses in dark clothing; a black shirt and black jeans mainly, but it does digress toward the odd shade of grey. Uncaring for professional attire, he strays toward mainly wearing casual clothing, and doesn’t like to wear anything with sleeves that go past his elbows. His hair is a really deep, dark brown, but often comes out as ebony (black) under the shadows.
On his feet rest charcoal hued, leather shoes which again add to his dark, mysterious personality. Muscular in appearance, Merrick can easily push a car on his own, though anything past that he tends to just leave. He hates anything bright and colourful, and never tends to wear anything that is past grey...
Merrick is muscular and well built for a man of his age though you can see that deep down he is incredibly thin if the wind blows against his front or side. While he doesn’t have grey hairs, it’s clear that he’s had a rough life. Around his neck he wears a necklace with a wolf’s fang there, and he tends never to take it off if he doesn’t need to. The actual necklace itself is made out of silver chain, which becomes incredibly cold in the winter and hot in the summer, which has burned him and left him with painful frostbite. The same goes for around his wrists and ankles, as well as one that serves as a belt around his waist, though this one is heavier than the rest and shows that he has a considerable amount of physical strength. His legs are long and thin, and compact, and his icy eyes are so cold and filled with silent fury.

Info:
Just as a note, I have both a Tepig and a Yamask. Tepig was bought from the Mod Shop, and Yamask was obtained from an Achievement. I would like to have these with Merrick, but still claim a Starter.
Both Tepig and Yamask are at level 5.
