» Personality: Lennox is a grump on the outside, and a mistreated, lonely dimwit who likes sarcasm and humor on the inside. He has a temper when provoked, and violence is his favorite problem-solving method. He loves to fight, but he's surprisingly rather specific about it. Lennox doesn't just go around looking for fights. He prefers to fight when the fight presents itself; he doesn't see a point to needless violence so he doesn't bother with it. Lennox prefers his fights to be meaningful in some way, as he draws accomplishment from doing things with meaning. Lennox will accept any challenge, regardless of the outcome. He doesn't care about winning or losing; he's more interested in meeting the challenge to the best of his ability (giving into fear or nerves would be exponentially more demeaning to Lennox then losing). If you treat him nicely, he'll treat you decently as well, though he's prone to being cranky and even rather flippant at times. Befriending Lennox can be easy or hard depending on what he thinks of your personality. Typically, it's hard. He doesn't think highly of many people, and he's not usually one to try and get to know people better on his own. However, he can actually be befriended rather easily if he likes you so much he respects you. He ironically be a bit of a selective closet softie, though he lets this side slip out around pokemon he likes.

» Likes:

Humor- Lennox loves all kind of humor; it's one of the few things that can actually put him in a genuinely good mood and it just makes him feel good in general. He enjoys cracking jokes just as much as he loves listening to them, and while he does lack brain power he can actually be rather witty with the resources he has access to.

Hitting Things- He likes to hit things, especially when those things are hitting back. If they don't hit back there's little motivation to keep hitting them, although hitting inanimate objects is a great form of stress relief for a grumpy bug. Hitting things with poison is a close second.

Rough Terrain- Lennox loves tough places. He enjoys the challenge that nature imposes; it's like fighting against the elements to him. Arceus knows that Lennox loves a good fight, especially one as grand as fighting nature itself. Taking on something so much buggir than himself with no regrets is the most meaningful and rewarding endeavor Lennox can think of.

Warm Hugs- Wait, what? Hold on there, that's gotta be a mistake. Psssssht, hugs... who the heck likes to be held in someone's warm arms anyways. Psssssht, nah, that's totally not something.... well, I mean, unless you're offering.

» Dislikes:

Arguements- Though Lennox loves physical disputes, he really hates verbal ones. He's experienced it in his own home so much that he's just flat-out sick of it. When people start yelling, he stops listening. He didn't leave his family just to be exposed to more of their Tauros poo.

Fear/Failure to Take Action- Lennox views fear as nothing more than a gross obstacle that gets in the way of becoming a better version of one's self, Lennox's primary goal in life. He dislikes pokemon who can't take a risk, who won't dare to take a leap of faith.

Smart Pokemon/Average Intelligence Pokemon who Make Fun of the Low IQ that he Can't Help- LOOk, it's not MY fault my parents were too busy arguing and being poor and abusive to get me a proper eduction, ALRIGHT? So what if I was born slow in the mind? Smarts just aren't my thing, OKAY?!?

Fake Personalites- Lennox absolutely cannot stand pokemon who put up fronts and act differently than they would normally act, whatever the reason may be (unless it's part of some kind of job). If you're not going to be yourself, don't be anything at all.

» History:
Lennox the Venipede was the runt child of a poor family of bug types living within Misty Mire. His mother was a complete sociopath who would randomly get mad at the children and hurt them, often for no reason. Even when a punishment was warranted, she was far far harsher than she she should have been. Lennox's father was a selfish Escavalier who cared very little for his family, especially his children. He did nothing to stop his violent mate when she thrashed the children around. He was only interested in the children when it benefited him. He cared more about the male children like Lennox, specifically. Lennox's father pushed them incredibly hard to be both tough and smart (though he never bothered to get them proper education), so that they would make him look good. When they didn't live up to his ridiculous expectations, he would assault them verbally without mercy. Lennox's father would also make all the children fight each other for no particular reason other than to tell them how inferior they were after they were done.

Lennox, being the runt, took the harshest of both abuses. To his mother, he was small and unfortunate and easy to wail on because he had already gotten the short end of the stick in life. Lennox developed the aggressive tendencies his species was known for quite early so he got rather tough and would even fight back against his mother when she confronted him. However, this toughness wasn't enough to win Lennox the approval of his other parent. Lennox was rather dull IQ wise and he was a slow learner when it came to everything other than what his instincts were telling him. His father would berate him endlessly for this.

Eventually, Lennox became fed up with his parents. He had no respect for them. He saw them as cowards who couldn't even raise their own children properly. He decided that even he could raise his own self better than his parents could. In fact, that's what he was going to do. He left his dysfunctional family immediately after deciding this, setting out into the wilderness with nothing to his name in order to raise himself. He vowed to become better than he ever could have become while living under their care, even if they had treated him properly.
