HELPFUL HINTS
EPOCH DASH will be your #1 place to go to quick navigate the site and to know what's going on with updates, mail, your threads and upcoming events.
The Guidebook and Pokedex 101 will inform you of everything you need to know to navigate the site with ease and answer 98% your questions. If you still need help feel free to ask in the C box or PM P✿pple or Lyro for a near immediate response. Several of our members are knowledgeable of EPOCH's workings and are friendly enough to help if something comes up and a staff isn't on.
Since the new Region Opened up Check out the Pokeverse many members have revamped their characters and moved over there to start anew.
Ryan has pale blonde hair that passes his ears, grazing the back of his neck, and relaxed grey eyes with a blue tinge. It’s true that they were once a sharp blue, but it seemed over time, as Ryan lost his vitality, he lost his eye color. He has strong shoulders and a generally athletic build, being a trained fighter. (to a degree… he is seventeen after all) Ryan’s pretty tall, touching 6 feet and still growing. His chin is angular, complimenting his slender yet structured body. He was struck with Chronic Bitchy Resting Face… basically, if he’s showing no emotion, which he rarely does, it looks like he's scowling, as portrayed in his picture.
Ryan actually has a small tattoo under his right wrist of a pair of deep red-orange eyes, the irises a blazing fire that contrasts the numb look present in his own eyes. He generally chooses to hide the tattoo.

PERSONALITY
Ryan is… numb. That’s the best way to put it. He’s generally uncommunicative and unemotional. On the inside, Ryan isn’t just a wreck or anything, but he’s just not a generally happy person. His ‘numbness’ has faded in the past two years, and Ryan has actually flourished compared to what he used to be. To others, Ryan will come across as cold or uncaring, but generally, Ryan cares and concerns deeply for those close to him… however, those people are few and far between. He’s not downright inconsiderate to strangers, but generally, Ryan doesn’t care for them. He was convinced a long time ago that all people are shitty on the inside, unless of course he knows them and likes them (his logic is flawed just a bit…)
Because of his general lack of passion, Ryan has always sought to make something grand of himself, as if a purpose of some sort would ignite a flurry of emotions that seem to be at loss to him. Right now, he wants to harness the power of a Legendary Pokemon and use it to track down and help his mother. He will most likely set his sights on Xerneas, using its life-giving abilities to help his mother through sobriety. He might also use Shaymin for this, or perhaps try and find Jirachi and wish for his mother's wellbeing. Either way, he wants to do it, as if to prove something to himself.
Ryan is not one to jest at scars that haven’t felt a wound. He doesn’t pretend to understand someone if he hasn’t been in their shoes, and because of that, Ryan is not a judgmental person… y’know, if he likes you first. If you’re a stranger, he could care less and you suck to him.
[/li][/ul][/div]
Ambitions: Ryan just wants to live again. Right now, he’s hiking through life, trying to find some reason to keep walking. He doesn’t know where he’s going. He doesn’t seem to really care. One day, Ryan hopes to find love again, or something that he can assign his own meaning to. Until then, he’ll just keep hiking.

Ryan, as of right now, sort of just treks through life as if he has some big goal, but there currently exists none. He has the capabilities to achieve power, and has a great interest in Legendary Pokemon and their capabilities. He is under the belief that society cannot exist as a Democracy; it does not work. Politicians will sit on their asses, drowning in money, while the world crumbles around them because none of them can get along and get anything does. The world needs a king, he says. Therefore, he is interested in reviving Team Rocket and uniting the world under a totalitarian regime that can truly strive to make the world better for everyone. Or Team Plasma, or Team Flare, or any 'Team' really. Maybe one of his own.
He doesn't want to do this due to malicious intent; he truly believes the world could be better under a rule like this, in which a single monarch reigns supreme. Nue is the perfect opportunity to make this happen.

He generally chooses to hide the tattoo.
PERSONALITY
Ryan is… numb. That’s the best way to put it. He’s generally uncommunicative and unemotional. On the inside, Ryan isn’t just a wreck or anything, but he’s just not a peppy happy person either. His ‘numbness’ has partially faded in the past two years, and Ryan has actually flourished compared to what he used to be. To others, Ryan will come across as cold or uncaring, but generally, Ryan cares and concerns deeply for those close to him… however, those people are few and far between. He’s not downright inconsiderate to strangers, but generally, Ryan doesn’t care for them. He was convinced a long time ago that all people are inherently awful, unless of course he knows them and likes them (his logic is flawed just a bit…)
Ryan is ambitious. He seeks no purpose right now, and thus must create one for himself. Right now, that involves pulling the reins on a mythical Pokemon. Whether he comes crawling to Jirachi, using its wish-giving capabilities for something grand, or whether he puts a leash on Yveltal and uses it to strike fear into enemies, Ryan wants to do... something.
Ryan is non-judgmental. He is perfectly capable of hating you without hating you because you're different. He understands at the core that people come from different pasts, and have different stories to share. He just doesn't like people he doesn't know as a rule. It's not personal!
Ryan is cold and calculative. Because his attachments to the world are few and far in between, he has no obligations that are not logical. He will carefully analyze a situation and take the most sensible path out.
Ryan is intelligent. He just plainly is. He has a wide array of knowledge on many subjects, although not necessarily a vast depth of knowledge on any single subject. He has a sizable pool of common sense and a good head on his shoulders.
Ambitions: Total. Control.
