» Species: Minun, #312 the Cheering Pokemon
» Affiliation: Wanderer

» Natural Feats:
-Sparks: Plusle and Minun have the ability to create sparks shaped like pom-poms. This can be used to light up darkened places and rooms.

-Minus: This Pokémon has a Special Attack boost if a partner has the Plus ability.

-Electrotherapy: Exposure to electricity from both Minun and Plusle together promotes blood circulation and relaxes muscles. (This relieves paralysis.)

» Personality: Energetic and outgoing, Raze is the type of guy who wants to see all there is to see. However, this usually results in him acting without thinking and blows up in his face. He doesn't deal well for admitting he is wrong and a bit stubborn at times, but at the same time is sympathetic and caring.

Raze believes in living life to the fullest every day (#YOLO confirmed). He mainly makes sure he never gives up on his own abilities. When forced to rely on others, he can be a bit tense and doubtful. He refrains from sarcasm, tends to only think logically during a crisis, and often doesn't notice if he is being rude or interrupting something important. He tends to think of it as a form of "self-assertion" and doesn't admit to it as intrusive.

However, he does have some redeeming qualities. First off, Raze keeps his priorities straight and avoids distractions. He has a habit of being a mediator between Pokemon and a talent of settling disagreements. Despite his own desires, he is actually selfless and would put allies, no matter how much they annoy/disagree with/anger him, before himself.

» Likes: -Competition: Because of his impulsive nature, Raze always wants a challenge. Whether it be a sparring match or a simple friendly race, he's raring and ready to go.

-Searches: As a child, Raze enjoyed spending his time looking for anything that appeared interesting to him. From berries to stones, he just picked them up and brought them to his house. He loves puzzles (despite messing up numerous times) and jumps at the chance to attempt to solve one.

-Daydreaming: Raze has delusions of grandeur and thus sometimes spaces out to imagine how things will turn out. He often fantasizes about meeting heroic explorers, traveling to far-off lands, meeting new people, and battling a legendary.

» Dislikes: -Boredom: Raze can't stand doing something that is pointless for a long time. He often is very irritable when bored, jumping at the chance to move on. When he is like this, it's best to let him be for a while until something more exciting happens.

-Cowards: Raze is disappointed when someone rejects a challenge from him. Usually, this doesn't bother him, but he tends to avoid people who never want to compete against him.

-Ghost Types: Behind his daring outlook, Raze is still mortal and has a worst fear: ghosts. Regardless of the reputation or intent of the ghost, they immediately make him uneasy and a bit shaky. The fact that they are able to do things that he doesn't think he can match scare the daylights out of him, deep down.

» History: Raze was born and raised near a plateau. His parents decided that they wanted a life that is quieter than the town when his older sister, a Plusle, was born. Ever since infancy, Raze wanted to do things independently and only let his equals or lower help him (which happened to be no one at that time, considering his semi-secluded life). His mother was okay with it, but his father wouldn't let him out of his sight without his sister near him. In his younger years, Raze tried to spar with her but only ended up falling flat on his face after a few weak attacks. After each failed attempt and humiliating defeat, he refused to be coached.

Raze never gave up. It took five years, but he finally managed to beat her in a match. However, after eavesdropping on a conversation between his sister and his mother, he realized that she actually held back and pretended to go down! This infuriated him, however, her motives were to raise his confidence and possibly help him progress in training. Despite knowing this, he decided to keep quiet to his mother and continue challenging her day after day.

This charade didn't go on for long. Eventually, he let it slip out to his sister. Despite his sister's rebuttals, he didn't believe a word she said. He rejected her explanation and went out for a bit to clear his head. That night, he confronted his father about leaving in search of a challenge. His immediate answer was "Not a chance." Raze, under the cover of the moon and the shadows, snuck out each night to continue his training. Since his sister had already left to explore a far-off land, he mainly "perfected", as he called it, his technique via shadow-sparring. With a mix of emotions, from the loneliness of isolation of being one of the few Pokémon to take residence near the plateau to the determination to progress and prove his strength, every night was full of strenuous exercises and exhausting drills with little to no results.

After a few dozen of these sessions, he felt it was the right time to ask again. He received the same answer from before, but his mother had a different perspective. She had seen him sneak out at night and train, watching how hard he was pushing himself to receive approval. After his father had fallen asleep, Raze had enough of it and decided to just leave. It was no trouble sneaking out, but he was caught off guard at the front doorway: his mother leaning on the wall and holding a small bag that looked about his size. She put a finger up to her lips, tossed him the bag, and nodded. Raze smiled, a tear rolling down his cheek, as he hugged her for the last time, at least for a while. As he strolled down the path on his way to Grassveil holding the map that was inside the bag, he gave one last look and a wave to his former house.

Now, Raze travels on his lonesome to look for what he so dearly missed: something that requires him to give it all he's got and avoid pity from his peers. He wishes that some day he can return and show his family what he can do.

» Other: Raze WILL NOT be a static character and may change after a while. This will not affect his core personality, but small details may change.

P.S. I am SO SORRY for editing this so many times, I just found really vague details in his backstory... that, and let's face it, he'd be pretty spoiled to leave just because he wanted to.

Alright, thanks Silver! So far, I edited the Natural Feats, feed a few vague spots and holes in the History, and added to the Other section. Why am I posting this? My edit notes don't bump the thread. And yeah, so sorry for such late edits, I just saw some things now! ;)

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

1.) SPECIES
You need to include the pokedex number and the classification of the pokemon. For example Magikarp is the fish pokemon!

2.) PERSONALITY
Please add a bit more to your personality. I understand that his personality will develop and change as you go, but that's to be expected. Just describe a bit more of his present self. Other than that very excellent bio! I like that you chose to be a Minun rather than something more popular! :D

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.
