Subject: (Up for Adoption) Horochi the Torchic Sat May 30, 2015 2:07 am

» Name: Horochi \h-or-oh-chee\
» Sex: Male
» Gender: Male
» Species: Torchic, The Chick Pokemon (#255)
» Affiliation: None As Of Yet

» Level: 5
» Energy: 19
» Ability: Speed Boost
» Moves:
-Scratch (Level 1)
-Growl (Level 1)
-Ember (Level 5)
-Night Slash (Egg Move)

» Personality: Horochi is very peculiar to say the least. He usually has a hard time taking things seriously due to his love of making others laugh, which sometimes gets him into messes he'd rather not be in, but can and will be serious once in a blue moon. Horochi has a habit of acting in silly and/or unexpected ways, which makes him look like a drama king at times, but is just doing so for comedic value.

Horochi is fairly stubborn and a rebel at heart, always wanting to finish everything he starts while trying to act different from everybody else as a means to stand out, as such he often comes off as really awkward at first due to him constantly breaking society's unwritten rules.

Horochi also has a thing against outlaws and bad pokemon in general, seeing them as having below average intelligence for breaking the law, and he has also gotten the nickname of "The one who bullies the bully" due to his habit of spontaneously attacking anybody doing something he deems as rude, mean, self-centered, evil, and/or immoral.

Then there's also Horochi's anger issues, which cause him to become severely enraged when provoked. Things that can trigger these issues include, but are not limited to; others insulting him and/or his friends, discrimination, as well as someone bringing up his lack of proper arms.

» Likes: Horochi loves humor, and really enjoys the sound of others laughing, especially at his jokes. He uses the philosophy of "Laughter is a defense mechanism against the unexpected" to make others laugh at him and/or his jokes.

Horochi also loves a good fight, and will often ask one of his friends for a sparring match once in a while to keep his skills sharp, but he won't fight somebody for no reason, as he believes that one has to have a just and moral reason for attacking somebody else.

Horochi also likes playing mind games with those he's battling against by finding out what makes them tick and using that to push their buttons in a way that causes them to fall for any tricks he sets up.

» Dislikes: As stated above, Horochi hates bad pokemon and societal norms, but in fear of sounding redundant we'll move on to the other things.

Horochi also hates boredom. There's literally nothing even remotely interesting happening when boredom strikes, and most of the time he just lies on the ground waiting for something exciting to happen.

Another thing Horochi hates is preemptive strategizing. He thinks that when taking on a foe of any kind, every second counts, so he usually just charges straight into battles head-on and comes up with a strategy as the battle progresses.(He refers to this kind of strategizing as "plan improv", and compares it with regular improv in acting when describing it.)

Horochi also strongly dislikes a long, drawn-out battle. Why? Because of his ability of course. Xellan's special ability of speed boost makes him gradually become faster and faster as a battle progresses, so imagine how fast he becomes in a battle that's drawn out. When this occurs, he goes so fast that his brain can't process the information his eyes are sending it fast enough for him to properly react to what's directly in front of him, causing him to smash into, or sometimes through, various rocks, walls, plants, or anything else potentially in the environment.

» History: Horochi was born into quite a disorderly family, so disorderly in fact that both of his parents couldn't tell the difference between a pokemon egg and a kidney stone even if someone paid them, so technically they disowned him before he was even born, which of course resulted in a stinky baby torchic being discovered by a few explorers in a forest.

The explorers brought the torchic to a nearby orphanage where he was given the name "Horochi", which was an alteration of the phrase "horo chikku", meaning "wandering chick" since torchic was the chick pokemon and the explorers found him wandering through the forest. Horochi wasn't really well-behaved in the orphanage, often whining and crying a lot whenever things didn't go his way, but grew quiet as he got older and learned that the world doesn't revolve around him.

Then at age 6, Horochi began going to school, and life seemed to be getting better. He was perfect in class (that is if you describe "perfect" as setting your teacher on fire) and was very popular (for better or for worse). Then one day in the middle of a school year, Horochi was found drinking an unknown kind of berry juice. This juice seemed to have had Horochi's mind altered in an unhealthy way, giving him part of his modern mindset and causing him to act very savagely. His rampage went on and on as he did much more dangerous things, and eventually Horochi burnt down the whole school.

Everything seemed hopeless for Horochi, but luckily at age 12 a miracle happened (if you can call it that); he stumbled upon a shedinja fighting a machamp while yelling to it about how he "ain't goin' back to prison". Clearly the shedinja was an outlaw, and the machamp was possibly a bounty hunter. It appeared that all of the machamp's attacks were negated by the shedinja's wonder guard ability which negates any and all non-super effective attacks, so he was losing. Horochi knew he had to do something to help, and before he knew it, he had jumped into the fray, but the shedinja was too fast for Horochi to hit at first, but then Horochi's speed boost ability kicked in, and with the extra speed managed to score a 1HKO on the shedinja with a night slash. This is where Horochi discovered his passion for battling. The machamp thanked Horochi for the assist and asked if there was anything he could do to make it up. Horochi said that he was a wandering hobo and asked if there was a nearby town that he could stay at. The machamp decided to take him to the nearest town which wasn't that far away. On the way, Horochi asked the shedinja why he decided to do things that resulted in him becoming an outlaw, but the only response he could get was that the shedinja found committing the crime he did was that he had gone broke, and the only logical solution he saw was robbing a bank and killing anybody that tried to stop him, and that most outlaws had similar reasons for committing their crimes. Horochi decided that the shedinja among other outlaws just simply had no rhyme or reason to their thinking, and were blind to the long term effects of their choices, so Horochi "realized" that most outlaws were idiots, and saw them as a kind of "poison" for happiness, and grew to hate bad pokemon in general.

The machamp led Horochi to a town called Grassveil Town, and soon after arriving, gave Horochi 5000 poke as "starting money", then the two said their farewells as Horochi headed into town while the machamp headed to the police station to turn in the shedinja. Grassveil Town interested Horochi, so he decided to stay there for the time being. He found himself being interested in what the various vendors had to offer, he found himself enjoying the calm atmosphere, he was intrigued by its surrounding areas, and he defeated any rogue pokemon he came across disturbing the peace, in fact he had also spontaneously attacked pokemon whom were bullies just to give them a taste of their own medicine, which of course gave him his title of "the one who bullies the bully".

Grassveil Town seemed like an ideal town for Horochi to lay down temporary roots, so he did and decided to learn more about the world we live in at the same time.

» Other: Horochi's anger sometimes blocks off his sense of reason entirely, causing him to mentally lose control of himself and attack like there's no tomorrow while completely forgetting all about plan improv.

Sorry, your Character Bio cannot be approved due to the following reasons:

1.) BBCODE None of the information you enter should be bolded, as it makes it more difficult for Secretaries/Admins alike to read it. Please only have the titles of the different sections of your bio bolded.

2.) MOVES Nothing incorrect, though I will mention that we're going by OR/AS level up now. AS such, Torchic can learn Ember at level 5, and you may add it to your moveset. It should be mentioned that if you choose not to, you will be unable to have your character "relearn" Ember from anywhere but the Springfall Dojo.

3.) HISTORY I want to know what happened. Please do not withhold any information regarding your characters history. If someone, for some reason, has their character have knowledge of your character's past without your permission for them to or your character having told that same character his past, then you can tell them to remove that part because it is a form of meta-gaming, which is not allowed.
Also, no drugs. Now you may have found a joke here or there referencing drugs, but as per of Forumotion's rules, we cannot directly speak about drugs, sex, or any other adult-like topics since young children can get onto this site.

OTHER Please note that this cannot have an actual effect. I can understand your character going into a temper-tantrum sort of rage and just firing wildly without holding back, but his attacks power cannot actually exceed his natural capabilities.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to message any of the Secretaries. May it be through the Chatbox or through Private Messaging, we will tend to your concerns as soon as we can. Please fix your bio accordingly so that we may be able to approve it. Once you have completed your edits, either bump this thread or message us.

Sorry, your Character Bio cannot be approved due to the following reasons:

1.) HISTORY There's a few things wrong here. Firstly, in this universe, which is dictated by the site owner, society is not at the point of sewage treatment plants. Seeing as how those would most likely be something equivalent to our universe's 20th century technology. Secondly, how in the world did an egg, mistaken to be a kidney stone and left to rot in waste, hatch into a Torchic that somehow automatically knew the word "Xellan" and why did the orphanage, in all of their wisdom decide to go with that as the Torchic's name? This leads into the next problem. If all he knew where those 6 letters, then how could he complain about the poor food and living conditions? And how is a poor quality of life being "how life works."?

On a couple of side notes, similar to sewage plants, I'm unsure on if soda has been invented, since it's also something that only came about around the 20th century. Also, I'd like to see more of how and when he got that "Bully of the bullies" nickname and his view on outlaws. Pokemon don't just hatch with a certain personality and group of likes/dislikes, they grow into them, so perhaps incorporating their origins into your history could help.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to message any of the Secretaries. May it be through the Chatbox or through Private Messaging, we will tend to your concerns as soon as we can.

Terribly sorry for the wait, I've been quite busy and haven't had much time to get on the site. If your character is not checked again after you've completed the needed edits, please pm: myself, BlueKat12, FoxFireAlchemist, and/or Solilo and one of us should get to your character asap.

Sorry, your Character Bio cannot be approved due to the following reasons:

1.) HISTORY Just to be clear, that 5000 poke was the poke you've already spent on creating this character, correct? If not, you won't actually receive any poke for mentioning receiving some in your history, not unless someone on the site is feeling generous enough to give you 5000 poke.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to message any of the Secretaries. May it be through the Chatbox or through Private Messaging, we will tend to your concerns as soon as we can. Please fix your bio accordingly so that we may be able to approve it. Once you have completed your edits, either bump this thread or message us.

That was just a reference to noobs of the site receiving 5000 poke to make their first characters, so yes, you're correct.
