PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS Looking at Adrian, one could easily get some mixed signals. His usual attire tends to at least resemble a formal suit, sans the tie, one of his outfits actually is one. He however, wears them casually, almost anywhere, save for where it is absolutely impractical, with little regard for keeping them clean and what all. Of course, he's anything but a typical suit wearing business nut or what ever you'd expect, but he likes the contrast of it with his laid back, free-spirited mentality. Adrian has green eyes, and a spiky head of red hair, complete with a long, thin ponytail coming out the lower back, and a pair of goggles worn like a headband that only leaves his head when he sleeps. His skin is light, bordering on pale, and has red lines tattooed below his eyes. As far as scars go, he's got the typical knicks and bruises you'd expect from someone who likes running around, and he's got a thin scar running a couple inches down the right side of his face, though it's only noticable if you're really looking at him. Build wise, he is of the tall and lanky vareity, standing at six feet and two inches and weighing in at about a hundred sixty-two pounds. He's got long, gangly limbs and is quite lean. Though he's strong enough to hold his own in a lot of fights, he's not winning any contests with it. Despite his long limbs though, he's actually pretty nimble on his feet and does like to dabble in freerunning from time to time. PERSONALITY Laid Back Adrian is someone who seems to be almost incapable of taking people seriously, at least when it comes to what they say or think about him. People can chuck insults, complaints or what all at him, even pick a fight, but he just ends up with this big, cheesy grin that he couldn't get rid of if he tried, when people get angry with him. Really, he just doesn't care what people think of him, and loves to just throw people off by taking amusement with whatever animosity is thrown his way. Loud & Outspoken Though he couldn't care less about how people treat him personally, when it comes to others, be it his friends or pokemon or just people in general, it's a whole other matter. Mouthing off and mistreating his pokemon, his friends or anyone he cares about, and just being a right ass to undeserving people, is what will set him off into a loud rant fest, and when he's loud, he is loud and he doesn't care who hears him cussing out deserving asshats. Though he can get pretty passionate about it, he can get overboard fast, and lose track of his original point easily Free Spirited Adrian above anything, values his freedom to live life his own way, and he exercises it where ever he can. He knows what's right, or at least he knows his own views on what's right, and anyone who demands more from him, he considers a joke. He also tends to live more for the moment, and the future, and doesn't focus a whole lot on the past. He doesn't believe in apologizing for anything he can't change, and thinks one's actions in the here and now and the future, are more important than a past that's set in stone. Friendly Adrian is a friendly guy, and good company when given good company. Though his lack of seriousness and sensitivity might rub people the wrong way, he's always well meaning with whatever he does. He's simply the kind of guy out to have a good time, and tends to want to deal with bad situations by simply ignoring that they are bad at all. It's not that he's oblivious or is incapable of empathy, he just really can't stand being sad and bottling his emotions and acting like everything is alright, is his best coping mechanism. Righteous In spite of his family and personal history being swamped in criminal activity, Adrian's affinity leans more toward justice and do-goodery. While surrounded by people who treated pokemon as mere tools, Adrian adored his pokemon and disliked treating them badly. It was a point of contention with his old team who considered him to be too soft on his pokemon and insisted that he act more like the boss of them, that lead to his eventual defection. Energetic Adrian's a young man with the energy of someone half his age. When he's not out playing his tunes trying to make a buck, his idea of fun is free running. He was introduced to the concept early in his life in Nue by a group of teenagers who eventually became his initial set of friends. He's since spent months of free time practicing and mastering various moves, and it's become common release for his pent up energy. He often has his pokemon come along with him, though Phoenix always ends up being too slow and Caspian cheats. Sensitive Despite his predominant disposition towards bottling his feelings up, and hiding behind a mask of self-assured humor and deliberate ignorance to the harsh realities all around him, there is actually a more sensitive side to him. It's a pride point more than anything that he doesn't show it all that often. When it does slip though, it's usually with a girl he particularly likes. Bashful Romance-wise, Adrian is well, a typical guy as a lot of people view typical guys. He does like checking out pretty girls when the opportunity arises. There is a distinct difference between how he acts towards most pretty girls, versus the ones he actually likes. Pretty girls that he has little to no serious feelings for, he's a lot more flirtatious and confident with. It's those that he really likes, that bring out his more shy and sensitive side. Ambitions: Ambitions? Plans for the future? What is this future ambition thing you speak of? Adrian, being generally lax, hasn't really thought a whole lot about the future before, and even when he does consider it, he's impossibly indecisive. Training? Co-ordinating? Breeding? Part of him does like the idea of joining the Interpol, but with his history, even he realizes that he likely wouldn't get away with it. Background checks and all, it's far too risky to attempt, even if he could figure a way to get through with a fake identity. In the end, he went for being a trainer, simply because it's the most straight forward path, though whether it's something he'll stick to, or if he'll look into something else entirely, is completely up in the air. HISTORY The past, is something Adrian has rarely cared to think about. Too many regrets, things he wishes he didn't do, people he misses, people he wishes he never met, and other complicated crap that simply gets in the way of his being in a good mood. The past is little more than the ultimate buzz kill in a life where he just wants to have a good time, so why think about it? Well, let's think about it anyway. To start with, his name? His entire identity? Completely false. He isn't Adrian Fawkes. He's pretty sure nobody is Adrian Fawkes. His hair isn't naturally red either. It's actually very, very blond. Contacts too. His eyes are actually brown. Back to the point though, his true identity? He is iron man. He is actually Devlyn P. Wyatt, son of Admin Vincent of the Team Rocket base in Kanto. Raised in a less than kind and enriching, child-friendly environment, Adrian's had to deal with earning his independence from an early age. Sure, he had a caring family, but they were also hard to please, and didn't tolerate whining and complaining, which would lead to Adrian developing a tendency to bottle his emotions and his persistantly upbeat attitude. Though he wasn't treated with much sympathy, he didn't really have much to compare to in order to think he had a crumby childhood. Under those conditions, he'd grow up with only the example granted by his criminally affiliated parents. When introduced to pokemon though, while his parents, like most of team rocket, viewed them as servents and weapons, Adrian thought... They were kinda fun. He didn't really get what others got out of being cruel to the things, he himself found that scarying them and bossing them around didn't result in very positive feedback. Though his mentality was different, Adrian didn't really know much better as a kid than to follow in his parent's footsteps. He was like any boy who just wanted to make his parents proud of him, and what better way than to carry on family tradition? Once he was old enough, he would join Team Rocket's ranks, and being an admin's son he of course had plenty of expectations and priviledge. Expectation however, wasn't what he was good at meeting. Indeed, his preference for treating his pokemon well rather than forcing them into his servitude, did get him marked 'soft' and over time, while he did manage to rise in the ranks regardless, he was beginning to realize, he just wasn't feeling this whole, criminal gig. He certainly didn't get any kicks from beating up unfortunate trainers and stealing their pokemon. There wasn't much he liked about stealing at all really. One does not simply hand in their two week notice and quit Team Rocket, however, especially when you are heavily associated with the upper management. His defection was a heavily planned affair with some heavy sacrifices. His entire identity was changed, from his name, straight down to his appearance. What he also had to do however, was release his team. He knew keeping the same team would be a pretty big give away, and he couldn't even stand to simply hold onto them, so on his way to Nue he'd make a stop in Unova, releasing his team there in hopes that Team Rocket would not find them. He'd reach Nue with nothing more than a memento from one of his old pokemon -- a pokemon egg. This egg would hatch into the Ralts he currently has in his possession, and it would be with his help that he'd catch another, a Trapinch. With that Trapinch he'd catch his latest pokemon, a Pawniard. Satisfied with those three for the time being, he'd end up in Flash City, where he'd set up camp at whatever streetcorner was open and play from the guitar he had brought with him from home. Because he was into music as a hobby when he was growing up. Didn't I mention that? No? Well, that's because it only got important just now. Life as a street musician was one of tough breaks however, and he'd eventually have to cave and get a more practical job working in one of the fast food joints to scrape up enough money to make a stable living off of. Though still living out of pokemon centers, he preferred it that way. He didn't plan on living in Flash City forever. He wasn't really sure what he wanted to do with his life, but he knew rotting away in this city wasn't the end game that he wanted for himself. Deciding to try his hand as a pokemon trainer though, he's got his pokemon in hand and whatever comes of it, he knows his life ahead would be better than what he left behind. RP SAMPLE "Stand straight, have a little faith. Because we shalll be freeee." Adrian finished the song with a flourish and a bow, to a fair amount of applause from the people who gathered around him. The precious sound of coin dropping into his guitar case followed as people dropped him some change before once more going about their business. "Well, that went reasonably well." Adrian told his Ralts as he gathered up his earnings and began packing up. As Adrian closed his case and caught a glimpse of Caspian, he suddenly realized the Ralts was staring at him with one of those knowing kind of smiles that people wore when they thought they knew something. Adrian's gaze narrowed on the little psychic type. "Don't look at me like that song actually meant anything. People fall for the mushy feel good songs all the time. It's good business!" He insisted, though the Ralts simply giggled back at his trainer while he just grinned back. Having enough of that though, he pulled out Caspian's poke ball and returned him to it, only to swap for a different poke ball. What replaced the Ralts was his Pawniard, whom he ironically named Rook. "Now you're not going to get any delusional ideas that I'm some sort of soft hearted chump, right?" Adrian questioned the little pawn, who immediately shook his head. "Damn straight." Adrian asserted, ignoring the smile in the Pawniard's gaze which gave away the fact that it was only humoring him. With his guitar packed up and slung over his back, Adrian set off down the street, with Rook walking close by his side. The atmosphere of the city was, as it always was -- bright, flashy, and noisy. It was a miracle he could get any attention in this place where there were competing musicians on practically every corner, where lights flashed all around, practically blinding everyone around, or at least Adrian. He was pretty sure he'd be blind by this time next year if he stuck around this city that long. For not the second, third or even twentieth time, he found himself wondering what he was going to do with himself. Sure, maybe he could just take his guitar and make business in some other town. Other places might not be so inclined to accommodate entertainers, but at least there'd be less competition, and health hazards for that matter. Still, he couldn't imagine this being what he'd do for the rest of his life, hardly scraping by. "So... Rook. Say we quit this entertainment gig. What should we do next?" Adrian questioned the Pawniard eagerly. Rook, who had been focused on their walk, looked up as Adrian questioned him. To be perfectly frank, he thought it should be obvious, and fortunately they so happened to be walking by the place that his trainer obvious wanted to be part of. Staring up at Adrian with his eyelids boredly half closed to make the obviousness of this more apparent, he let out a sharp clicking noise as he without even a second's thought, pointed a claw sharply towards the nearby police station. Adrian's eyes followed the Pawniard's claw to where it was pointing, and seeing where it lead him, a wide smirk stretched across his face. "Ha, right. The Interpol. Because I'd totally get in without them finding... well, you know." Adrian laughed as he poked a finger sharply at the side of the steel type's armored head. He had to give it to his pokemon though, the Pawniard clearly knew him too well. The interpol was definitely what he was interested in, but living under a false identity, trying to get in there was practically suicide. "Come on smart-ass, before I decide to get into co-ordinating and put you in a tutu!" Adrian said, as he pushed onward towards the pokemon center, hoping that better ideas would come to him in the morning.
