((I keep changing his hometown because I'm trying to find one that will be fun to avoid. XD))
Name: Romant Vindichi (goes by "Roma Vindi")
Age: 17
Gender: male
Hometown: Olivine City
Money: 2,000
Bag:
4 Pokeballs
Fishing Tackle/Pole
Sleeping bag
Pup tent (for rainy occasions)
A hand held computer of minimal function. (this computer is basically like the keyboarded cells we have today. It's capable of sending communications, picking up radio signals and GPS functions only if the signal is good.)
Appearance:
Roma is dark complected. His skin is very tan. His hair is dark as well but his eyes are violet, giving him an ethreal look. He's pretty long and lithe with sinewy muscles like a swimmer, but not a lot fo them. He doesn't work out to become strong.
He typically wears ripped up jeans and a t-shirt with a polo design and the sleeves ripped off. His hair is kept kind of long. When he's working or traveling he pulls it into a pony tail at the base of his skull. If he's in a flirty or playful mood he'll only use his headband to keep it out of his way.
Personality: At least two paragraphs
Roma has always been a traveller. He doesn't like being in one place. He believes that people who do so are trapped. The idea of being a pokemon trainer is most appealing because of getting to see and experience life in far off places. Roma likes music and parties as well. He has a soft spot for anything female.
His favorite mode of travel is hitchiking. He likes slower modes of travel like wagons too, when he can find them. Roma is romantic yet free and loves being that way. He can't see settling down with one girl ever, even if he does have his own fanclub in one or two cities he frequents.
The only thing that really ruffles his feathers are stalkers and weirdos. Other than that he's pretty laid back and easy going. Perhaps too much so. He's also slightly mischeivious. He doesn't mind getting into a little trouble either. Once to catch the attention of a young girl who ignored his advances, he stole her underwear off her laundry line.
He also is no stranger to work. He's fairly handy with fixing most items and was trained by his father and grandfather in utility work for when he had to help with the Hotel.
Pokemon:
Ekans - Charma
Level:
15
Move List:
- Wrap
- Leer
- Poison Sting
- Bite
Pokemon Personality:
Caught in a grassland when Roma had spotted her raiding some Spearow nests. Her belly had been big and heavy with the eggs and she'd been a pretty easy capture as such. A tackle attack had sent her flailing from the tree she'd been perched in. She'd landed a little roughly and her stunned state had made for an easy capture.
Charma is vain and self devoted. She likes having her own way as well. She's not terribly active and likes sunning herself more than anything. She veiws Roma with the respect a pampered dog might show their human. "When's dinner?" and "I'm sleeping." tend to be the most often response unless Roma is dependign on her in battle. When it comes to a pinch, however, Charma is there for Roma. Her favorite resting spot is around his neck.
Pokemon:
Espeon - Seer
Level:
23
Move List: ((Is there a limit?))
- Tackle
- Tail Whip
- Helping Hand
- Sand Attack
- Quick Attack
Pokemon Personality:
As an Eevee, she'd been the runt of the litter and had been pushed away from a feeding spot. Roma, who'd been working on the Puppy Farm for a little cash, had picked up the little Eevee and nursed it to health. Soon after it became apparent that the small one would never leave his side. He followed him everywhere, and would whimper if he closed the door to the house or barn and he was left outside.
Roma bought him from the owner of the puppy farm when he was ready to start out on his journey again. The owner had haggled over the price of the runt because it was obvious he wouldn't be able to sell him to anyone else. They traveled together from then on. Roma loved having the company, and it was fun to finally have a partner for luring in the girls, who fawned over the little Eevee.
Seer evolved when Roma had been working at a ranch as a hired hand to once again turn a buck. Wild Houndour were snapping at the herd pokemon and causing them to stampede. When Roma had attempted to come between them, they began chasing him down. Eevee evolved to protect his friend and had used a combination of sand attack and quick attack to frighten off the houndour.
History:
Roma was born in Olivine. His parents had lived there all their lives and his grandparents had as well, as possibly their great grandparents had. They ran a hotel that catered to those coming and going by sea.
Things had picked up and the family profit had been growing, but everything was monotonous even so. The only thing that changed were the faces that were just passing through. Roma began to feel the urge for something different. He didn't want to settle down before he'd ever seen the world.
It was encouraged for him to become a pokemon trainer when he expressed these feelings to his mother and father, however they made him vow to come back once a year and see his fiance. As well as owning the hotel for so long, his family had another tradition... The girls of the family ran the hotel and usually the men were background help. Janitors, plumbers and utility guys, where as the girl dealt with the money. As such, whensoever it came time, a fiance was picked out to help head the hotel. Someone from a family that could be trusted to keep the Hotel strong and bear a future generation.
Having known his fiance, Rain, for a long time, Roma found no reason to rush back home when the one year came and went. It's been nearly two years now that he's been on the road and he only vaguely wonders what everyone is up to back in Olivine, which he tends to avoid like the plague. His mind only wanders over what they're doing when he can't get to sleep at night and he's staring up at the stars.
As for Rain? He doesn't feel that attached to her. Rather he feels like his arranged marriage to her is a burden. He feels that they are far too different to spend the rest of their lives together. She's the daughter of a trade merchant from Saffron. She's all blonde hair, plaid skirts and sugary sweetness mixed with a bright blue controling streak. He grimaces to think of it now... it was evident the first time they met...
"Hiya. My name is Roma."
"That's not how you introduce yourself, Mr. Romant Vindichi. Like this. Hello. Welcome. I am Trillint, Rain; only daughter to Trillint Hugo of Trillint Trade. It's very nice to meet you."
"...Ok..." Vaguely he wondered how many times she could manage to say Trillint in a sentance.
"No, no! It's not polite to be so informal when we've just met! You should say, 'I beg your pardon.' or 'I apologize for my rudeness. Allow me to introduce myself properly.' You see?"
Roma saw instantly the rest of his life and for the first time saw something of the female species he was most certain he would never approve of, like or even get used to.
So he wonders about how his family is doing... but never Rain... in fact, in his nightmares he can see his wedding day to Rain. He's heard rumors that the little benedict is getting ready for her wedding. Although he can't imagine who it is she's getting married to, he doesn't envy the poor fool.
His lot in life is simple. Roma is also a little bit of an artist. He likes playing a reed pipe and sometimes drawing or sketching. He's often considered starting a caravan and making wandering his life and living. And in fact he wants to.
But he wonders if it would be as much fun to travel in a group. Would it be like a marriage? Probably... but maybe not... it was hard to tell. He wanted to be free... but being free was a hard thing to do... He sometimes wondered if it was worth the trouble.
Ekans was caught in the grass near route 39 as Cyprus left Olivine. The puppy farm Seer was obtained in was between Ecrutek and Goldenrod.
