» Natural Feats:
- Cleaning: Minccino have the natural inclination to clean things when they are dirty. They can use their tail as a brush or broom to dust off dirt and grime. Sometimes it is okay for things to get dirty, as he can just clean them after. He does enjoy a clean home but won't go out of his way to clean every day, just every other day.

- Skill Link: Though it is not apparent to him yet, Nightingale is somewhat ruthless. Any time he uses a move that would multistrike that hits two to five times he will go out of his way to land five blows on the opponent.

» Personality: Mature but in his own ways, Nightingale is a teenager and as such will sometimes act childish but for the most part he is just out there. He is set in his ways but is always open to listening to others and seeing what they think about a situation. He tries to be an adult but doesn't understand how some adults do things if they don't like it.

He enjoys a good scare now and again; loving to prank his friends and family. It is harmless pranks like moving or hiding an object they are looking for but sometimes he goes a little to far and has been yelled at for doing so. He has been told to act his age an he tries, for the most part. But there are other teenage pokemon out there that act much worse than him.

His heart is nice, though. He would do anything to protect a friend or loved one; be it lie, steal, or just smile he is the type of pokemon that is always there to lend a helping hand if anyone needed it.

» Likes:
- Pranks: Who doesn't love a good prank? Something that is fun and light hearted that make both the pranker and the prankiee laugh make Nightingale a happy Minccino.

- Singing: It may come as a surprise but he loves to sing, atleast, in the comfort of his own home. His singing is pretty good for the most part as that is all he does as he is cleaning, however, he does not have the courage to sing infront of others just yet.

- Wandering: Ever since he was born he always got in trouble walking around in places he shouldn't be. But he loved to see the world for what it was, climbing trees, digging holes, squeezing into places he shouldn't. The Minccino loved to see what hidden secrets he could find.

- Sleeping: After a long day Nightingale will just lay on the ground, or in a tree, or anywhere he wants too. Closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep, just the feeling of laying there and knowing he will wake up in the morning and have another fun day is always something that can make him smile.

- Stories: Be is storytelling or just sitting down and listening to others, Nightingale enjoys a good story. Be it a quick story that explained something funny that happened or one that lasted almost an entire night; he'll sit down and listen intently, after all. Life is all about the stories you tell and pass on.

- The Night: While most prefer to sleep there is something about the night sky that always makes this Minccino relax. Maybe it's the sound of running water, or the pokemon that come out at night playing and having fun. Maybe it's just the fact that no other pokemon that he knows is up. So every night is a whole new experience!

» Dislikes:

- Prissy Pokemon: If a pokemon is uptight or high and mighty he seems to stay far away from them; not wanting to know about them or even help them. However, if they could get off their high horse and see eye to eye with him he will give them a chance.

- Pokemon who can't take a joke: Being a prankster means he loves to play pranks on everyone. But if the pokemon who is on the receiving end starts to yell at him; he may seem calm and caring on the outside, but on the inside he is trying his best to find a situation to get him out of there. If the pokemon on the other end doesn't like it and calmly explains to him that they don't want to be pranked he will happily clean them up and not do it again. But to those that jump on him, they urk him to no end.

- Bitter and Spicy foods: Being one who loves to sit down and eat, the only thing that can ruin it is if the food is to spicy or to bitter. The taste is annoying to him and is just disgusting. If a friend offered him some bitter or spicy food he would respectfully decline; only eating it if some pokemon made it specifically for him.

- Sleeping: While he does enjoy to rest every now and again the concept of laying down and wasting hours that he could be out having fun with others always annoyed him. He tries his best to get some rest so he can have fun. Though this does take a toll on him after a while.

» History: Nightingale was hatched some years ago on a hot summer day. He didn't remember much growing up but he knew that he and his family didn't see eye to eye. He wouldn't clean himself at a young age, preferring to roll in the dirt because it showed he went out on an 'adventure' to the front yard and played outside. His mother and father would tell him plenty of times to clean himself but he wouldn't for a few days; his parents disliked the dirt on their son but he seemed to enjoy it so they let him have his fun, cleaning him off with their tails every other day as the boy asked.

A year later and he started cleaning himself every other day, his parents where happy to say the least but he wasn't. Stuck in a town and going to school day in and day out. It was boring to him; only his pranks and the stories of wandering pokemon keeping him entertained. On most nights he would be found sneaking around outside and watching the starts or climbing trees; only to return home later at night to get a few hours of sleep before school. Much like his habit for not cleaning himself he stayed up late into the night and only got few hours of sleep, it was a bad habit but an easy one to break. After a while it seemed as though his habit of sneaking out was broken as the village was explored and offered little in secrets and rewards. It was one night in a dream he had where he envisioned himself smiling happily as he unearthed some treasure; dusting off the chest and opening it up. What happened next in the dream he can't recall as he woke up but he did know he wanted to go out and do that. To find buried treasure and explore!

When he was old enough and stopped going to school; his parents waved him goodbye and with some spare money they had and a handful of berries he made his way to the next town over; it was quite busy and the exciting new world opened up to him. Most treated him as a kid as he still was but he enjoyed every minuet of this new world, making new friends along the way and pulling more elaborate pranks. He has left the town some time ago and explores not only for fun but for the money in it as he needs to provide for himself. He cannot stand toe to toe against wild pokemon who have lived outside of towns their whole life, so trying to take food to deep into a forest isn't something Nightingale will want to do unless he really needs.

He sticks to himself for the most part, enjoying the free nature of his journey. He can stay up as long as he wants until his body couldn't take it anymore! Though he tends not to put off sleeping to much as it is required for him to function. Nightingale is still looking for other friends to play with and explore with, friends that will talks with him and tell stories, and play through the night though, he doesn't see himself joining an organization to help others he might consider it one day. For now he lives one day at a time and is happy as can be. Stopping into every nearby town he comes across and telling stories his family and friends and other adventurers told him, buying more supplies and heading back out.

» Other: The Minccino seems to smile a lot; though he doesn't really have any reason to smile there are some times where he knows a pokemon needs a smile in their life to make sure that they know things are okay.

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

1.) MOVES

The moves themselves are fine, but the problem comes in the form of your descriptions. Specifically, you put emphasis on how a simple Pound from a level 5 minccino is "sure to hurt." If you want to keep the descriptions, that's fine (though not necessary), but you'll need to at least change that bit to something more reasonable than "It WILL hurt you." You probably didn't mean it in that way, but nonetheless, someone could get confused and think the attack has to hurt their character even if it logically shouldn't, and you could then claim that it should.

2.) PERSONALITY

Not obsessing over cleaning is not taboo to minccino (or at least, there's nothing implying that it is). "Taboo" would imply that it is forbidden by social customs, but that is not the case; they simply like to clean. Feel free to say it's taboo to his family and even friends, but not to his entire species.

Also, "he is the type of pokemon that everyone would go to for help" needs to be changed for reasons similar to the issue with the move description. You don't know that everyone would go to him for help, even if he weren't an "oddball," and therefore it should not be written as such. You can just change the wording slightly and still keep the general point that he's always willing to help.

3.) HISTORY

First off, his history implies that he enjoys stories (specifically from wandering adventurers, presumably) and stargazing, while he dislikes sleeping. Yet his likes do not include stories nor stargazing, and sleeping is listed as something he enjoys. If this is the case, why did his preferences change? There's also the implication that he's paranoid about betrayal, which is not reflected in the slightest in his personality or even dislikes. There isn't even an explanation as to why he would be paranoid in the first place before being betrayed by a group, what with his outgoing and friendly personality.

Speaking of this group, how did he get away from them? It seems this last bit of the history is extremely rushed. He surely didn't fight his way out, given he isn't exactly well-equipped in any way to handle a fight, especially against an entire group of experienced "adventurers."

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.
