Name: Parallel Russet (Par) Gender: Male Date of birth [Age]: 21
Appearance: Standing at a pretty average height for a man his age Parallel's slim but well built frame can go deceptively unnoticed. His prowling gait allows him to move easily among his peers without drawing much attention to himself. His body is well designed for hunting, he is very quiet on foot and very dexterous with his movements. He spent his youth building up his stamina and training himself to use his body to it's fullest potential, but he has never built up any muscle just for show.
Sallow skin runs along his toned physique darkening at the nape of his neck and very slightly along his forearms from hours of travelling outside in the sun. His short, but scruffy hair is several tones of brown, making it seem messier than it actually is. Though always clean, he has never seen any real reason to style it in any particular fashion. It merely sits where it has dried. However he does make a point of cutting it often so that it doesn't get out of hand and irritating to take care of.
Dark rimmed yellow green eyes stare out at the world, purposefully examining everything and everyone in it. He has a quiet observant demeanor and can be quite calculating at times. His angular jawline is usually sprinkled with a fair amount of stubble, though never enough to do more than make his face prickly to the touch.
His clothes are always practical. They are in tune with whatever climate his current home experiences. They are generally dark colours, often natural and earthy tones for easy camoflage. Usually accompanied by his pack and knife, Parallel is prepared for as many survival situations he can.
There is one slight odd thing about him. He is a Pokemorph. A Persian Pokemorph to be precise. He had the shining red jewel set in the middle of his forehead, several whiskers, a nice set of retractable claws, a pair of black tipped ears and of course a beautiful long tail. He is proud of who he is and makes no attempt to hide his difference.
History: Parallel was part of the traders community that travelled around the regions of the pokemon world. He grew up learning discipline from his father who worked with pokemon in every village they visited. He became very comfortable with pokemon as well as with himself, learning his limits quickly. He spent his childhood going out with his father on odd jobs to earn money. From these trips he learned the basics of pokemon and human interaction. His father taught him everything he knew. He learned how to track pokemon and live off the land, how to help others and earn enough to buy from towns and villages.
Parallel's pokemorphism was there from the moment he was born and his parents nor any of the community he travelled with had a worry or fear about. They accepted him as he was and even took pride in the fact that he was so close to nature.
As he grew older Parallel sought other ways to keep himself amused and help support his parents. He began learning the skills required to be a trainer and surrounding himself with those who had already received their first pokemon. Sooner than he, or anyone else, had expected, he became very proficient at finding wild pokemon and trying to battle them himself, but it was impossible. He needed a partner of his own, he needed pokeballs!
After his father had built up a successful reputation for himself as a pokemon handler and began breeding them the day finally came when he brought his son over to a hatching clutch and offered him an egg. Parallel was always fascinated by the clutches of eggs, but he usually stayed far enough away out of respect for his father's business. But when his father guided him to the clutch his heart began to race. This was the first batch of eggs his father had gathered to hatch and raise as his own and he was offering one to his son. Not knowing what was in each patterned shell, he touched them all and chose the warmest.
At the age of twenty one Parallel decided to set out on his own pokemon journey with his new partner Flux, a young female slugma.
Interactions with Pokemon: Parallel was brought up to respect pokemon as sentient creatures and therefore has a great understanding of them. From when he was a young boy his father brought him out on odd jobs around cities to help people learn how to handle their pokemon. This could range from merely catching a stray purrloin, to trying to calm down an angry venusaur. Parallel was introduced to the idea that pokemon were very strong and very dangerous, so he had to be strong enough to handle them. But he was also shown how gentle and caring they could be, especially as his father had ambitions to become a breeder.
When he received his first pokemon from his father, his slugma was just a warm egg. He waited patiently for her to hatch and the day she did was one of the happiest of his life. She was his responsibilty and t last he had a pokemon friend to call his own.
Personality:
- Wary/Cautious
Parallel always makes it his business to be aware of what's going on in his immediate area as well as being up to date on information. He's a little paranoid about being caught out somehow.
- Natural Fighter
Parallel is a gifted fighter. He has practised many martial arts since he was very young and utilises these skills daily. This trait often makes him want to pit himself against pokemon for training purposes.
- Stealthy/Passionate
Parallel is stealthy in his body and his mind. HE is a quick thinker who prefers to analyse a situation and devise a plan rather than rush in head first. He is passionate and pursues his goals with every fibre of his being.
Parallel has somewhat of a a nervous disposition, he is almost always on guard and ever watchful. Though this can be for threats it can also just be for useful knowledge. He likes to know what's going on and regularly uses his time to find out. If he's caught it can lead to some unfortunate accusations, but he is generally quite adept when it comes to stealth.
He is not an attention seeker, he blends with the background purposely. He has a stealthy nature and, cautious in his decisions, he weighs up the options before making a choice. But he can be decisive when under pressure, keeping a calm air about himself he uses his experience and knowledge to make what he believes to be the right decision at the time.
To those he cares about he can seem a little too cautious and over protective, but he really does mean well. His instinct is to guard those he loves and fight to protect them. Being a hunter those attitudes were strengthened as he helped provide for his family and keep an eye out for any danger. A very intelligent character Parallel can sometimes come off as quite aloof. This is predominantly a defense mechanism. He has a habit of clinging to what, or rather who, he knows and being skeptical about everyone else. Once you get past his out barrier he becomes a much warmer person. But in truth nothing will ever make him a great speaker.
He pursues what interests him, he is driven by his own passions. With every new interest he wants to excel and command it in his own right, so he often spends much of his time gathering information and pensively dissecting his own reactions to it.
As he is quite an introverted person he can be very secretive. Sharing with others has never come naturally to him which makes him slightly defensive with his thoughts and possessions. When you do get him talking however, he tends to be quite forthright. His doesn't abide too much waffle, if something has to be said he'll generally just say it.
At this stage in his life he wants to explore something completely new and foreign to his own mind.
Pre-starter information: Parallel's Pre-starter is a female slugma by the name of Flux. She is quite young at the moment so she hasn't grown into her own personality yet. She has a great love for her trainer and he is very protective of her.
Goals in Cheyenne: Parallel has focused his energies on training himself, now he wants to train pokemon. But more than that really, he wants to grow and find new meaning to the world he knows. He likes the idea of breeding pokemon and raising them from eggs, so he will pursue that most passionately, with Gyms and Contest coming in second place for him.

Since this is your third character, I do have to ask that you hold back on the journey threads. You know the deal, kekeke. Third characters are special, and we have to be nice to the mods whenever possible so we don't overwhelm them. As long as we're clear on that~ ACCEPTED!
You can start with:
::slugma:: Level 4 Magma Armor - Flame Body Yawn||Smog +starter pack if you skip the ranger station and do whatever you want
And the Slugma is level 1 if you try the ranger station for something extra. :'D
