Subject: (Up for Adoption) Morty the Skorupi Fri Mar 03, 2017 5:02 am

(Copied directly from the natural feats/abilities page)

- Tail Claws: A Skorupi’s tail can inject a delayed poison into foes when the claws have closed, and it is capable of clinging on to its victim until the poison takes effect. An opponent capable of intangibility or one possessing any kind of poison immunity wouldn't be affected, and those with Flame Body and Static could retaliate with these abilities.

- Survival: A Skorupi is capable of surviving an entire year without food. This does depend on how active the Skorupi is.

» Personality: Morty has a simple lifestyle. He's scrappy and is always down to fight. If he isn't fighting, he's sleeping or exploring his surroundings. He doesn't like to brag about his abilities, and would rather be humble. Unfortunately, he is a tad hasty, which makes him impatient. He tends not to think before he acts, and accidently hurts others' feelings with his sometimes harsh words. And, while he loves to fight, he knows his own limits, and will withdraw himself and others in a fight he knows can't be won, and he never underestimates others, no matter their size. He himself, however, is rather thick-skinned and hard to anger. The only things that truly sets him off is when others insult his abilities, and cheaters. He takes heavy offense to being called things such as "weak". When with friends or Pokemon he trusts, he is more talkative and open than he is by himself, where he is serious and quiet. He is immensely loyal to those he has a deep bond with, and is willing to put his life on the line for a true friend.

» Likes:
Fighting - His number one hobby is fighting. Everything about it excites him: the rush, the sense of danger, the adrenaline. His favorite part, though, is the thought of meeting strong Pokemon from around the world, and growing stronger himself.

Fire - Be it fire-type Pokemon or just a campfire, Morty is fascinated by it. Particularly so with fire-types, as they hold a type advantage against him, they are his favorite Pokemon to spar with. As for normal fires, he enjoys their soft warmth and enticing glows, especially the recent memories of sitting at them with his father.

His father - No matter how negative he feels about his parents, Morty will always love them, especially his father, Cliff. With a welcoming personality and a will to fight greater than his own, Morty's favorite Pokemon will always be his dear old dad.

» Dislikes:

Cheaters - One of the things that Morty truly hates the most are Pokemon who win unfairly. He feels that a dirty victory is even worse than a loss. It ruins the fun of a good fight, and makes him lose all respect for the offender.

Crying - Morty thinks crying is, simply put. annoying. He hates seeing others cry because it annoys him and makes him uncomfortable. He especially dreads having others see him cry because he feels it is when he is at his weakest and most vulnerable.

Very large Pokemon - Morty has a strange fear of very big things (though he would never, ever admit it). He tries to act brave around them, no matter how bad he is at acting.

» History:
Morty was born in Rainfront Town. He was born to a Drapion named Chaya, his mother, and a Ditto named Cliff, his father. He didn't spend much of his early life with his father as he moved to Grassveil shortly after Morty's birth for, as he put them, "business reasons". This led Morty to having negative feelings about Cliff.

As Morty grew older, he became interested in learning and fighting. He gained his scrappy attitude and started picking fights with others in the neighborhood to grow stronger. Of course this got him into some trouble, and while Chaya loved her son and Morty loved his mother, she simply became frustrated and didn't know what to do with her rowdy child. After months of thought, she decided it best to have Morty move to Grassveil and live with his father. Morty left his hometown along with his sub-par reputation with the other kids, and while he understood his mother's intentions, he still could not help but feel bitter towards her.

Morty's father taught him to control his urge to fight so he wouldn't recklessly hurt any more innocent Pokemon. They trained together once every day or two for about a year. Over the course of their training, Morty came to bond with and accept his father. They would enjoy campfires at night, or go through walks in the woods during the days, when they weren't sparring. The two quickly became best friends, and greatly enjoyed their time together. His father was especially good at training Morty and Morty loved to train with him, due to Cliff's ability to transform.

After their year together, Cliff convinced Morty to join the Grassveil guild, where he could put his physical talents to good use. Morty was ecstatic about the idea, and left his home to join the guild. He set his sights on becoming a guild member so he could, one day, find the strongest Pokemon in the world, and challenge them!

» Other:
Morty has a small, vertical cut on the left half of his lip from a fight when he was younger.

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

1.)YOUR TEXT GREW THREE SIZES ON THAT DAY

Looks like there was a problem with the size code, as your text is far too big. This may have been an error on your part or Forumotion might have done it, but either way, fix it.

2.)MOVES

There are technically no problems with your chosen moves, but I'd like to make some suggestions regardless. First, your character is high enough in level to have Knock Off, but you've chosen Leer over that? Second, are you sure you want Agility? You know you won't be allowed to use this alone as an excuse for your character to go fast liek sanic, right?

3.)NATURAL FEATS

Add a feat for your chosen ability.

4.)PERSONALITY

Your character has traits of an analytical bookworm, a career warrior, and a lovable prankster/troublemaker. These are three character archetypes that are in EXTREME contrast to each other. This personality is incredibly scattered and is made up of traits from three different personality-types that all conflict with each other. It seems kind of like you just want your character to be everything so that you can explain him acting in whatever way you find ideal in any given situation; you've even implied that his personality may drastically change depending on the circumstances. Make his personality a bit more consistent (and subsequently, his likes, dislikes and history) or find a way to properly explain why he has so many conflicting traits.

5.)HISTORY

If you're trying to say your character is from a town near Grassveil, you'll have to change that. It's a bit unclear whether or not that's what you're going for, but I have to be sure it isn't. You can have your character be from an unmarked town, but Grassveil's outskirts are well-established, and they do not include another town. If that's not what you intended, then make it clearer that this town is not near Grassveil.

Also, do his parents just not have names? You actually refer to them as "Drapion" and "Ditto" as if these are their names.

Successfully edited. I ended revamping his personality almost completely because, admittedly, I didn't really like it before.

Subject: Re: (Up for Adoption) Morty the Skorupi Wed Mar 15, 2017 7:21 am

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

1.) STILL A BIT TOO BIG

The text size still appears to be too big. Check what the proper size in the original template is if you don't remember.

2.) PERSONALITY

The personality looks pretty good now, though there are a few minor issues. First, there are some grammatical errors, such as "He tends not to think before he thinks," and then there's the question of why he would be called boring. A battle-loving scrapper isn't exactly something anyone jumps to call "boring."

P.S.

Sorry for the delay.
