» Sex: Male
» Species: #387 - Turtwig - The Tiny Leaf Pokemon

» Natural Feats
-Photosynthesis: Turtwig's body functions as if it were a plant, performing photosynthesis to produce oxygen for itself and others around it.
-Head Sprout: Turtwig has a sprout on its head that it drinks a large quantity of water to keep healthy. If Turtwig gets thirsty, the sprout wilts.
» Relatives: N/A (No OC Relatives, though his mother was a Meganium.)

» Personality: Powar is a Pokemon Pokemon (couldn't come up with a better term for people person), sometimes almost too talkative. He definitely prefers company versus time alone, and he tends to be somewhat anxious or fidgety, overall. Powar can be somewhat of a know-it-all (inserting possibly-only-half-relevant knowledge into conversations), especially when he actually knows something. He has some issues with self-worth, celebrating small victories and accepting failure as the norm, almost to a fault. He is also trusting, though almost too much so. He always seems to focus on what happens in his life or around him when talking, especially in the realm of relating to past experiences or his mother's teachings whenever remotely applicable.

» Likes:
-The Planned: Powar works best when he has an idea of what could and probably will happen. When planning, he wants to make sure he budgets for as many situations as he can without being obsessive. (though sometimes he still pushes the envelope)
-Stories: Powar has always been enamored by stories of heroism, triumph, and perseverance in the face of disaster. He wants to be a part of one, no matter how small the role may be.
-Learning: Powar loves to tackle new situations, and his aptitude for learning makes him a versatile ally.
-Food: Powar has always been a lover of food, taking any chance he can fairly get to figuratively dive in on food.
-Games: Powar credits games, especially those of the social kind, for allowing him to (partially) overcome his disability and at least become a part of conversations.

» Dislikes:
-Romance: Powar doesn't think he's ever known love, and doesn't think he ever will. Pokemon who attempt a romantic interaction with Powar discomfort him.
-Over-repetition: As much as Powar likes things being a certain way, if things are always the same, Powar can get very anxious very quickly.
-Pressure: Powar is light-hearted, so when pushed into making a key decision, especially for a group, Powar's anxiety spikes.

» History: Powar's life has been simple, yet complicated, ever since he hatched 13 years ago. He was intelligent, but his social game was always behind the curve. He got stressed out much more easily, and didn't act his age most of the time. When the time came, Powar knew deep down that it was autism, or something like it, holding him back. He's had to deal with a lot of moves around the world, and a number of changes in circumstances. Powar had always been inspired by stories and legends, some being as real as news stories and others pure fiction, but always ordinary Pokemon making a difference in the world. Powar has learned how to manage his emotions over time, especially once he finished his public schooling 6 months ago. Ever since his graduation, he's lived full time with his mother, a Meganium, while his father, a Torterra, lived a lackadaisical life moving on from raising Powar to pursuing personal goals Powar doesn't quite understand. Powar has taken every chance he could to play games, and choosing the right ones (which were fun for him anyways) helped him to learn social skills, and now, at 13 years old, Powar has finally grown to a point where his capabilities match those of an average aspiring young Pokemon, and as such he's ready to set off on his own: to finally be part of something bigger than himself, to be part of a welcoming community, to do things he'd never known possible until now. But first, he'd grab a snack on the way out. (not that it means anything in OOC)

» Other: Powar lies toward the higher-functioning end of the autism spectrum, a mental/social illness. He isn't carrying or wearing anything, being rather unprepared for the life ahead.

The profile is pending approval. I know deep down that it'll be denied, but I'm still waiting to see what I can improve upon going into the next rendition. Here's a bump in the meantime, though.

Another edit has been made. I just hope this works, or gets closer to doing so. Another bump in the meantime, to reflect the most recent edit date.

Yo! Sorry it's taken so long to have a look at your bio. I only have a couple of comments to make really so anywho~

At one point in your bio you state that Powar is a 'know-it-all'. Could you perhaps expand on what you mean by that, since that's kinda vague on it's own.

For example, do you mean that he gets defensive when someone tries to argue against something he knows? Does he just some across as quite arrogant when explaining what he does know? Or do you mean that he tries to make out he knows something even when he doesn't? All of these could be different interpretations of what you mean by him being a know-it-all. For all I know you could mean all of these, or you could mean something completely different!

Other than that, the only real problem I have with your bio is this line: "Torterra, lived a lackadaisical life forgetting about Powar but controlling his life anyway" It might just be the way it's phrased, but im confused how he could be controlling but also forget Powar exists. So basically if you could elaborate/clarify this that's be awesome ^^

Also apologies for not using the usual formatting. I originally posted this on discord as I find it easier to talk through people’s bios with them there but since I hadn’t had a reply I figured bumping this thread would be better than leaving you in the dark.

Hey, it's all good in this neighborhood. Anywho, I have put those few comments into action, and I've got high hopes that I'll finally be able to take part in the action here on PMD-RP. Hopefully, this will be my third and final bump before I get to start really planning RPs.
