APPEARANCE
Ugumi blood seeps into this kid's hair and eyes, showing off golden eyes and the typically blonde, which Felix has managed to whiten a bit from extended exposure to the sun. He stands at about 5'8", a tad on the short side, but its something he can blame on his mom's genetics. Pale skin seems to further highlight his bright facial features, and Felix is rarely seen without a trademark half-smile.
His usual attire used to consist of a pretty simple outfit - a simple button up with a black vest, perfect for looking semi-formal while driving taxis. However, as he is currently in between employment as he shifts around regions, he's taken to sturdier and easier to care for clothing. A simple shirt usually suffices for his wardrobe, and he often compliments worn jeans with his "walking boots", which look like they were made more for fashion than actual physical activity. A family trait seems to be running about in a light jacket, and whether or not the sun is high the hood is usually up to help block his visage from others' view.
Felix is in the habit of changing his appearance in little ways -sometimes adding a watch here, other times switching from contacts to his glasses, and even carrying a case of colored contacts just in case. Family history has taught him to be a bit wary about his blonde and gold visage, so he's learned to mask it when needed.

PERSONALITY
There would be a strong fire burning within Felix if he ever bothered to stoke it. The kid is generally laid back about a lot of topics, only showing any real dedication if it comes to his pursuit of knowledge or his job - granted, it doesn't matter what the job is, he just feels the compulsive urge to do it and do it right the first time. He's worked quite a few jobs for one his age, ranging from temporary assistant at a Pokemon Center to his personal favorite and long time job as a taxi driver.
You see, he loved the taxi job because he loves learning about people. How they tick, what they think, how they do what they do all while remaining themselves. He got to hone his personal skills and, with experience from that combined with the genetic silver tongue he inherited from his father, Felix become quite lucky when it came to learning what he wanted from people. He's also inherited a tad of his dear old dad's independence streak, often setting off on his own for his endeavors.
What he got from his mom was a nurturing side, which leaves him quite vulnerable and affectionate towards those he grows close to. He seems to be quite trusting and willing to help strangers even if it means having to give up his much-needed daily nap. Felix will step into the line of fire to save a kindred spirit.
Takashi Junior also has a thirst for books of all kinds. He might as well be Belle from Beauty and the Beast, what with how much he loves books.
Ambitions:
Felix just wants the good life, and to answer the questions left behind by his father. How is it that he had another lover and child? Does he have others? What is this other family like? Where will Felix settle and what will he spend his life doing? What does the fox say?[/ul]

HISTORY
Now, Takeshi Ugumi was quite the womanizer of a man in his younger years. He enjoyed many flings with many women, but few have made an impact on his life. That is, until he ran into Felicity. Young Felicity was enjoying her wild years, but she wasn't about to let life run her by when it struck her, and so she managed to wrap deeply into the mind of Takeshi. Sure, she let him go off when he said he needed to leave, but she assured that she left enough of a mark that when he needed somewhere to go and take respite from his lifestyle, he'd have a place. He didn't leave her without a little something, however...
By the time he had left Jane and the unbirthed Ricki Jace, Takeshi Ugumi Junior was already nearing his second year of life. Like a dog licking its wounds and suddenly collared by Felicity, who was kind and affectionate but stern with the man, he skulked back into Felix's life - who earned his name when the Ugumi man found himself unable to call him anything resembling his own life, especially after how the rest of the Ugumi saw him. The outcast branded his son as lucky in the hopes that it would be true.
As the young Felix grew in a rather stable household, the adult Takeshi found himself having difficulty dealing with his past. Jane would send him brief letters and reminders - telling him about Ricki's growth, about how she wishes he'd come see his child with his own eyes. Felix was entering his 12th year of life when he saw his father openly weep - the only time he ever saw it, and the last time he actually saw the old man before he hit the road, running once more from his past. Felicity didn't fight him, once more expecting him to return.
Felix took this rather hard. How could his father walk out on him after so long...? In his emotions, he found solace in books. In these books, regardless of good or bad endings, they had endings and closure, which is something he soon found himself lusting for. In his kindled curiosity, he managed to go through some old stuff in storage and lo and behold, his old man had left some stuff behind - notably a stack of letters and pictures, all from someone named Jane and concerning herself and someone named... Richelle? Ricki? Felix kept these letters and pictures, notably keeping a few of them in his wallet. The young Ugumi was determined to figure out what was going on.
He put himself to good use, furthering his own schooling and keeping himself locally employed with whatever people needed, and in this time managed to pick up a few skills - patience with people from working at a store, for instance, or how to properly take care of a customer in a taxi. It wasn't long until his twenty-first birthday rolled around and he decided that he had prepared himself enough. He said goodbye to his loving mother, quit his job, and made his way to the region he got a ticket to first: Hoenn. Felix was going to figure out what his dad was up to and where he went, and this Richelle seemed like as good a place to start as any.
