Name: Leon Syracuse
Gender: I’m a male
Age: I was born 18 orbits ago
Appearance: If you look at my face, the first thing you may notice are my eyes. I have a rare case of heterochromia, meaning that my eyes differ from each other in color. Its obvious that I have heterochromia, since I have one extremely pale blue eye, and one red eye. Nobody knows how, or why I’ve got it, but the village elder said that I got it from Arceus choosing my fate long ago, before I was even created. My hair is long, spiky, tied back, and two different colors. My main,natural color is light brown, which I’ve had since birth. The second color, is an orange color that has been in the tips of my hair for years. I need to have that color in so other villages on the islands in the Archipelago will know which island I belong to if I ever get lost.
As you may have noticed, I have three different necklaces around me. All of them were given to me for a significant reason. The first one is a black,leather choker that has 18 yellow-gold colored glass beads strung upon it. These glass beads represent the number of times the sun has fully orbited around our island since my birth, or which you would call, how many years old I am. The second necklace is composed of poisonous needles from a Nidoking I had to kill, which I will explain further in my history. The third is a dog tag that has the number 659, my identification for when I went to school in Cinnabar Island.
Okay, now we move down to my clothing. Since it’s so warm where I come from, all I wear are shorts. But since I have to be “modest” for Torrenta and School. I usually wear a gray shirt with a yellow trim in the collar, with a thin crimson red tank top under it. Over that, I wear a large brown robe-like coat. On my legs, I have dark jeans and a pair of boots. Sometimes instead of my boots I’ll wear my sandals, but that all depends on how hot the weather is. Around my waist are my two grey rucksacks, which I carry everything from food to my blade sharpener inside.
Oh, and of you see me walking around with a scythe, don't be afraid or alarmed. It's a little dull and I only carry it around in the wilderness just in case I need to try and chop down a small tree branch and get some berries, or pick up chicks.
Personality:
Well, since you haven’t really met me in person, I need to start off with this; I don’t talk. I took an oath about a year ago that was to talk only when battling or when I confess my love to a girl. It’s weird to you, I know, but I had to do it because of my heritage and so on. My Grandmother wants to keep me in touch with my ancestors, so she’s making me do all sorts of crazy stuff. But anyways, I won’t talk verbally, but I’ll write on a notepad instead.
I'm a very good fighter/hunter, which was all tested when I was 16 during my Warrior Selection test, which I will explain in my history. Anyways, I know how to use the earth's resources to adapt. I can make shelter, find food, firewood, start fires, y'know, the works.
If you say something that I take as a challenge, I will be sure to come and take it head on. I'm no Pokémon trainer, but if it was a tree climbing contest or something, prepare to get you're pride taken away. And with girls, well, I don't really know. I've never really felt feelings for a girl before...so I've never known what if feels like to love or be loved by one. But I tend to keep myself away from girls...since they think that killing a Nidoking is a total crime and that I'm a creep....But if they come and try to talk to me, I'll try not to push them away. But sometimes, I'll avoid them completely, girls are kinda scary sometimes.
I usually don't help people unless they really need it. Like, if I had to save someone's life, I might, depending on if I knew the person. But ever since the Warrior selection test, I've learned that it's every man for himself and only the strong survive in harsh conditions. I also hate asking for help, and must do everything myself, and correctly.
History:
about 3 moon cycles before I was born, my mother and father were both thankful to know that after 2 orbits of trying to have children, I would finally be the gift that they had desperately wanted, and awaited for.
It was a cloudy and windy day on Sunburst Island when I was born. My mother went into labor early in the morning. She was in labor until it got dark outside. She delivered me into the world, but my birth was a price for her to pay. She had died late in the night. Grandmother said that she was very sick when I was born, and couldn't stay alive. I always felt that part of me was missing...but as grandmother said, 'when one thing dies, another grows'. Grandmother was my caretaker when my father was out at sea, and traveling to the other islands of the Archipelago.
I don't really remember any of my early childhood....so I'll just have to skip to when I got into my school years.
Once I was old enough, I was sent to Cinnabar island with other boys and girls my age to go to school. We would take a boat every week and stay in Cinnabar for four days. Then we would go back home for three days. We would do this every week until Summer hit. Once the three months were over, the cycle would repeat itself. The kids only had to go to school ages 6 to 15 orbits. Then, the graduating boys would take part in a special 'coming of age ceremony', which I will explain next.
At 15 orbits, about 1 moon cycle before it was time for my coming of age, my father had to leave for a trip to one of the islands in the Archipelago. I don't remember which one, or why, but when he left, he put his hand on my shoulder and said, 'Leon, listen closely. Whenever you go into the wilderness, or into a fight, remember that bravery is believing in yourself...and I hoped that you've taught yourself that already." I nodded respectively and said, "Yes father." and said goodbye to him as he turned and continued down the dock and into the boat. I watched as it zoomed away in the distance, disappearing below the horizon once it was far enough.
That was the last time I saw my father....
When I turned 16 orbits, I was sent out into the wilderness with just my knife for 3 moons. It was for my "Warrior Selection". Warrior Selection tests are taken when boys of 15 or 16 orbits are sent to the virtually uninhabited Butwal Island for 6 moon cycles. You are only given a knife in the beginning. During the process of my test, I had to make my own tools and gather food in primitive ways. I fished, cooked, and made shelter for myself using anything around the island. I was alone for those 6 moon cycles, and I was the only boy out of four that had survived the test. I miraculously survived when I had to fight a Nidoking to the death. It was destroying my camp, and trying to kill me out of pure aggression. I took my knife, and went for it. I got pretty scratched up by the end of it, but I'll always have three of his poison spikes dangling on a thread around my neck, signifying that I had become a man over those 6 moon cycles.
Once the 6 moon cycles were complete, I was retrieved from one of the veterans on a Pidgeot and flown home, back to sunburst. What I didn't know right away was that I was the only survivor out of four other boys my age. After we held funerals for the boys that did not make it with me, we held a day-long celebration of my success. I had never seen so many girls crowd around me so much in my entire life! I'm serious, they were ALL OVER me!
About 2 orbits had passed, and life was pretty boring during that time period. I decided to take a boat over to Cinnabar and try to enlighten myself. In one of the shops, there was a small stack of brochures that read CHEYENNE Pokémon REGION.'As I opened up the brochure, a new door of my life opened up as well. Then I knew that I wanted to become a Pokémon trainer, and have Pokémon travel and battle with me. I ventured back to Sunburst and asked my grandmother if I could go. She didn't disagree.
After a few days, I left for Cinnabar, then took the boat to ...- Oh, sorry, I better get ready. Because when I look out the window, there's Cheyenne magnificently shining in a golden Twilight as it blankets the sea...
RP Sample: N/A
Misc: Leon never, EVER sheaths a weapon until it's tasted blood, but there's an exception to when he shaves.
He has an unnatural fear of Marills, due to a Marill that tried to kill him by pushing him off of a cliff into the ocean when he was five years old. Nobody knows why the Marill did it, BUT IT DID.

TBD
I like it although I do have a few suggestions that would make it better. I want to accept it but you should fix some of these first.
1. Most don't use the 1st person when they talk, so you might not want to do that when you actually RP. As an application, it isn't too big of a deal though. But just keep that in mind. You don't see 1st person that often in RP sites.
2. Main reason why I'm hesitant at the moment. I like the background and your character definitely isn't "perfect" or anything (Not a Mary Sue) but I am a bit hesitant because of the way you describe him. The fact that he fought a Nidoking and killed it as a reminder? I fear that when you actually RP, you might end up god modding because your character is a bit "too strong" IMO.
Watch out for that. But besides that, it isn't bad. Just make sure you don't god mod. I fear that he is too physically powerful and that could end up being a problem later.
