Cirrus the Togepi

Subject: Cirrus the Togepi Wed May 04, 2016 4:56 am

» Name: Cirrus
» Sex: Female
» Gender: Female
» Species: Togepi, Spike Ball Pokémon, #175
» Affiliation: None at present, but has medical aspirations

» Level: 11
» Energy: 16
» Ability: Super Luck
» Moves:
- Morning Sun (Egg Move)
- Double Team (TM)
- Sweet Kiss (Level 9)
- Metronome (Level 5)

» Natural Feats:

- Compassionate Energy – As with all Togepi, Cirrus is able to gain energy by using the feelings of compassion and pleasure felt by nearby Pokémon, and is also capable of sending this energy to others to induce a happy mood. This feat does not affect energy regeneration in dungeons.

- Super Luck – All of her attacks and moves, if they inflict damage, have a higher chance of causing a critical hit.

» Personality:

Cheerful – Being still young and having a limited view of the world, she is usually peppy and upbeat in most situations, whether appropriate or not.

Optimistic – Possessing a desire to encourage others in order to collect energy, an encouraging and optimistic viewpoint is one that she often exudes. Dwelling on bad situations wouldn't be her modus operandi, she would rather look forward.

Kind/Caring – Again due to her youth but also as a result of her mother, she has an unfailingly kind demeanor. She would try, to the best of her abilities, to aid even a feral Pokémon if she felt that it needed help.

Quietly Determined – A personality trait that may come as a surprise for her species, she can be quite rigid and resolved on the goal she sets her mind on. Evolving into the Togetic stage is such an example due to the heightened mobility it can offer, enough so that it's become a prerequisite to her long term dream.

Rather Naïve and Impressionable – Her sunny outlook does come with a fair sharing of naivety however. Once one gets past her steadfast drive and optimism, it can become obvious that she actually knows fairly little about her dream field, creating the possibility of her being misled or outright manipulated with ease should she begin to trust an unscrupulous Pokémon.

» Likes:

Company – She enjoys being around others, particularly like-minded company of which she could gather energy to store or share.

Doctors – Her Togekiss mother frequently aided many Pokémon as a doctor before settling down to have a family, and she greatly admires the profession as a result. From watching her occasionally tend to older Pokémon who remembered her mother from back in the day, she soon decided that she'd want to become a doctor herself.

Being Outdoors – She has no particular problems with being indoors, but outside is where she feels most at home.

» Dislikes:

Being Alone – Not only does she have a somewhat lonely side, but the resulting lack of any available energy to take in isn't something she wants.

Pessimism/Negativity – Such a mindset runs completely against her own, and she can become greatly troubled should she be unable to resolve this. She simply cares too much.

Reality Checks – It's less about her being stubborn or blockheaded, but instead her own youthful view. She doesn't quite understand why anyone would think her aspiration would be difficult and isn't aware that giving bad news is a part of the job.

» History:

Born into a clutch of ten young to a doting Togekiss mother and a Cherrim father whom the infants have never met, Cirrus started her life in a sheltered manner within the concealed valley nest a fair distance south of Grassveil Town. She and her nine siblings spent much time safely hidden within the nest, defended by the mother with ferocity more befitting of a Braviary than a Togekiss.

This would begin to change after a few months when she, unbeknown to the rest of the sleeping clutch, witnessed her mother tending to the injuries of a old, rough, and scary looking Honchkrow around the corner. Wandering out from the nest, she overheard the Honchkrow ask why she would help him, previously a hardened and cold criminal.

The sound of this scared Cirrus a little, but she was also surprised to see his injuries continue to be tended to. Watching them from out of sight, her brief flux of fear was substituted out for growing admiration for her mother and the expertise she displayed, beyond that of simply a child's love. After Honchkrow had left, she was spotted and gently returned to the next but didn't let that scene escape her mind.

The next morning, she asked her mother about what all of that was about and was treated to the story of how she was a doctor of some repute before settling down with a family. With a significant amount of respect having formed as a result, her dream had already begun to take shape, "Follow in her footsteps and become a doctor". Within a few months of mimicing the parent's technique to varying degrees of success and and watching a couple more older Pokémon arrive for help, she felt confident enough to state her dream.

To Cirrus's joy, this dream was wholeheartedly encouraged and she spent a number of weeks taking standard lessons and generally watching the treatment of the occasional Pokémon patients in a more active manner than before. Soon, though, it was decided that Cirrus should move out and into Grassveil Town to seek out more experience and grow from there, instead of merely waiting for patients to infrequently arrive at the nest.

She was saddened by the news but took it in stride, knowing that it would help in the long run. After being given a bag to store whatever she came across, Cirrus was flown to Grassveil on her mother's back and shared a sad goodbye with her upon arrival, promising to succeed.

A few weeks later, she had comfortably settled into life at the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere that Grassveil Town offered, not far off from the Pecha Forest. There had been a couple of close calls for her in that dungeon, but Cirrus was certain that she would overcome it in time...

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

1.) NATURAL FEATS

Togepi's Pokédex entries also say it can give this "compassionate energy" to others to make them feel happy. May want to add that on. As for the other feat, this "toxin" is only ever cited in the trading card game as far as I can tell, which is non-canon. The cards just make things up out of thin air; the TCG is even worse about that than the anime is. Please remove the feat involving the toxin, as well as the dislike involving it. However, if you give Cirrus Toxic, feel free to have it work in this manner.

2.) PERSONALITY

The personality is rather short and shallow. Given the fantastic history, I'm positive you can manage a better personality than that. Doesn't Cirrus have any negative traits at all? There's no way she's just this perfect, happy ball of sunshine. That usually comes with downsides, such as being easily manipulated or a bit of an airhead. While being cheery in inappropriate situations and trying to help someone who can't be "helped" could be negative traits, it's still fairly shallow.

3.) OTHER

This could be added to the personality. You're allowed to leave the "Other" section blank.

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.

1: Fair enough on the toxin feat. I'll remove that and replace the dislike with something else to maintain a total of three dislikes. I also edited in the addition to the energy feat and fed that into her love of company.

2: Easily manipulated? Yeah, I like that. I'll add that under her being naïve and impressionable.

3: The tidbit about a desire to evolve does feel like a part I could trim outright, but I've tried to work it into the personality as you suggested. I hope 2 and 3 have expanded that personality section enough.

With that, edited and bumped. Thanks for the advice.
