Full Name: Darko Paul Livingston
Gender: Male
Age: 21 (April 5th)
Appearance: He stands at five foot eleven inches. He is well-built. He is not particularly muscular, but he still appears strong. His eyes are a striking blue. His stare can sometimes be intimidating. His hair is a light brown color. For the most part it is straight, but it curls slightly around the edges. His hair is often messy, making it appear even more curly. He does not care much for how he looks. He often wears torn jeans and old tee-shirts. Sometimes he wears a hoodie to hide his face. His appearance is not very inviting, but nor does it automatically scare people away. There is an energy about him that intrigues the more daring.
Background: He was born and raised in a small town in the Johto region. He enjoyed the sense of community that came from everybody knowing everybody. He did experience loneliness despite this because he did not feel like there was anyone who truly understood him. His grandfather came close, but he died when he was 9, which devastated him. Everyone in his town was there to comfort him, but he still felt isolated. What finally made him feel better was a Totadile he met while out walking on his own in the forest. The Totadile played with him and made him laugh. Darko returned to the forest many times to see him. Eventually, the Pokemon came come with him.
Darko has since then had a very strong relationship with Pokemon. He finds them more loyal and forgiving than most people. He can be himself with them. He still had many human friends as well. When he was 16, he decided he wanted to leave to become a Pokemon trainer but he did not want to leave his home. Feeling lost and torn, he attended a party and had a bit to drink. Something terrible went down, and he soon found himself arrested. He was shocked and angry because he did not know he had committed a crime. While in jail, he grew angry at his family and friends for their lack of support. Then he was angry at himself for being so stupid.
Finally, something came over him. He realized his wrong and repented. He began to grow in faith and hope. He looked forward to making it up to everyone when he was released from prison. He was let out on parole after three years. Instead of being welcomed back, his family treated him coldly and harshly. He was stung by this. Everyone else in the town began to hate him. His Totadile was taken away from him. He tried to explain, but no one would listen. He grew angry and resentful. He learned to trust people slowly and to not expect compassion. He finished parole after two years. His parents wanted to get rid of him and he wanted to leave the town, so there was a mutual agreement that he would go far away to the Cheyenne Region. He desires to form a strong bond with his Pokemon and any people who dare get close to him.
Personality: He first appears distant and mysterious to others. He is a loner, though this is only partly due to nature. He needs plenty of time alone to himself. Being with large groups of people makes him uneasy. It is difficult for him to get close to others, but he has a strong desire to form close, personal attachments. It is hard for him to open up because he is afraid of being rejected, which is a legitimate concern. He has to feel completely safe with someone before he reveals more personal information. When he does like someone, he becomes very possessive of them and tends to cling to them. He has the capacity to love greatly. He tends to be sympathetic with others if they do not oppress him. He prefers to show his love through his actions rather than his words. He has a desire to give and help others, but he is often prevented from doing so.
He appreciates Pokemon, nature, and art. His will is extremely strong. He is determined not to fall to other people’s expectations. His faith is sometimes the only thing that keeps him going. He refuses to give in, if only for the sake of pride. He will not become who everyone thinks he is. He struggles between optimism and pessimism, feeling different things at different times. When he is feeling cynical, he is opt to let his anger escape in small ways. Usually he has a good control over himself, only brooding to himself. He believes people are basically good and should be given a chance, though he is annoyed that people are prone to being judgmental. He tries hard not to feel guilty about his past, but the way other people act around him and the words they say have a profound impact on him that often seeps into his dreams.
