Rixy, y u no in color? >:U *too lazy to color*
UsernameBlue Sky Noise
Character Name:Rixyus Calderon
Gender:Male
Age:16
Badges:Boulder Badge (Pewter City)
Personality:Comes off as standoffish/distant/apathetic. He keeps to himself and rarely speaks unless spoken to. Very quiet at almost all times.
However, he is not at all afraid to speak out and fight against something he finds to be unjust, and won't let himself or his friends(including his Pokemon) get pushed around. He has enough ambition and determination to use it as a drive in battle to get stronger, but it doesn't go to his head to the point where all he can focus on is winning battles. Though it may not show, he has a deep sense of loyalty and justice and doesn't like them shaken.
History:Rixyus was an only child growing up in Pewter City. Both his mother and father worked often, so most times his only company was his Zubat, which his father had caught and given to him for his 8th birthday. He never truly got along well with other children because of his more quiet demeanor, so he instead enjoyed spending time with his Pokemon and any other stray ones that wandered into town. Through small, playfully battles between his Zubat and a stray Ratatta every now and then, they gradually grew stronger and Rixyus began to get a grip on the basics of battle.
As a child, he looked up to the trainers passing through his town. He loved to see the look of determination in their eyes and their will to fight. He wished he could watch their Gym battles as they entered the Pewter Gym. This fed his desire to grow up and be a great trainer.
At the age of ten, without his parent's consent and believing himself ready to begin his journey, Rixyus left Pewter City.
It wasn't more than a few days after he had left, with nothing but intentions of exploration, that Rixyus encountered a small group of three older trainers on Route 10. Looking for what the thought to be harmless amusement, one of the trainers dared Rixyus to head down the waterway and go explore the old abandoned Power Plant. Rixyus at first refused, not eager to head into a completely unknown area with so little on him, and scared to go even though he wouldn't admit it. Jeers taunting him for being a coward pushed him to defiantly object to the claims and head south towards the Power Plant. Determined to prove he was better than them, Rixyus vowed to bring back a Pokemon from the Plant to prove his strength.
Upon reaching the desolate facility, however, Rixyus soon became aware of his mistake. There was nothing here but the foreboding noise of what might be movement in the shadows. Stubborn to hold to his vow, he continued further into the Plant regardless.
This decision proved to be bad one when one of the noises in the dark took shape as a Pokemon Rixyus had never seen, an Electabuzz. The Pokemon reacted violently to what it believed to be an intruder, and before Rixyus could gather himself enough to call out his Zubat, he found himself thrown to the ground, nowhere to run and nothing but cold steel trapping him in with this horrible monster.
A flash of light, an unbearable pain coursing through his entire body, and what may have been days later he awoke at home. Someone had heard his yells and came to help, and soon after he had been rushed home for medical treatment.
The scars on the side of his face are a reminder of this attack, and even if no one else can really notice them, they are painfully obvious in his mind. Ever since that day, Rixyus became even more secluded and to himself. He also developed an intense fear of any electric type, reactions to them similar to the ones shown in PTSD. He tries to hide this fear when it comes, but he does a fairly poor job of it.
After the incident, Rixyus remained at home for 6 years, waiting for when he felt he was ready to against start his journey. The soul of a youthful, eager new trainer now absent in him, Rixyus again left home,--now 16 years old-- defeated Brock to earn his Boulder Badge, and now sets out to try once more to become a Pokemon trainer...
