APPEARANCE
For someone who supposedly plies in trades which cannot bear the light of day, Silver's appearances are not inconspicuous in a crowd. Recessive genes have blessed him with a mane of bright red hair that hangs to just past his shoulder, unrestrained by any hair tie or the like, which curls slightly at the bottom. Fringes are swept to the left side of his face, sometimes covering his eye and more oftentimes tucked behind his ear. If he's ever considered the convenience of a hairclip (...and maybe he had...) he isn't going through with it. His eyes are his namesake; light gray to the point where they are silvery in color, sharp and intense, designed to drill holes into those who he finds the need to interrogate or extract a difficult truth from. Only very rarely does he smile, and usually his face seems locked in a cool, serious look that deters others from approaching him with the desire of nonsensical small talks. Business, Silver's posture screams, and ninety-nine percent of the time business is exactly what he means, rarely with anything more to add.
Although Silver does show a particular favor to the color black, he favors practicality far more. The form-fitting jacket that he wears (black in color of course, with linings the color of his hair) is made of strong, durable material fit to withstand abuse from the environment as well as battles. Cargo pants of the same quality cover his legs, finished off with worn boots that tell of his vagabond nature. Habit or simple security, Silver always wears gloves--black, tight-fitting ones that are very convenient, one might remark, for not leaving behind fingerprints.

PERSONALITY
The world isn't painted in bright rainbow colors for Silver, who has seen too much of its darker underbelly to be fooled by what is visible on the surface. His outlook on life reflects his experience; people who approach him are treated with wariness and a fixed distance until he is certain they are allies, and even allies who are not informants or are not of high emotional worth to him are oftentimes avoided in favor of time alone somewhere to train or to challenge stronger trainers in order to better himself. A loner by heart who doesn't favor inane "visits," Silver expects those who come to him do so on a businesslike basis and will quickly lose interest if it's not the case, taking his leave to deal with things more worthwhile of his attention.
Silver understands things better in the logical, black-and-white terms than he does in the emotional, murkier ones. Decisions are clear-cut to him, made based on a series of calculations that would yield the best--not necessarily the right choice--and it is as much a learned skill as it is his innate personality. This makes Silver an efficient worker; most things he looks into have a good chance of being completed without problematic strings attached, but it has the unfortunate side effect of keeping him detached and distant from the sort of emotional contact that might have been much healthier for him. He sees "allies" and "acquaintances" and "trustworthy people," not necessarily "friends"--if he had ever truly learned the meaning of that word at all--and even now, when friendship isn't a pretty, empty word to him, he struggles to fully perform the perceived duty that comes with being friends with someone else.
Used to taking care of himself or relying on his pokemons, Silver is closed off and reluctant to have to involve others in his exploits unless he sees that their inclusion is an obvious boon to him. This tendency is extreme when people forcibly integrate themselves into his affairs, which can result in Silver displaying cold irritation or, to the warmer and more honest ones, admission that he does not wish to bother them. Regardless of his usual chilly, serious attitude, Silver is more inclined to run and leave the bothersome individuals in question in the dust rather than face them head-on and make sure they can't follow him again. Ever.
With all that said, the ones Silver truly trust with his life are his team of hand-picked and self-trained pokemons he keeps around. He treats them with the same respect as he would anyone of equal or greater skill than himself, but without the frosty distance due to most humans. They are, in a sense, his family as much as they are killer monsters and reliable partners to have in any fights, no matter where he is or what he is facing. He trusts them to make judgments in battle where he cannot, and as far as he has known, they have never failed him in that regard.
Ambitions:
Silver is as far from a dreamer as one can get. He sees reality for what it is, and for what it will become. Whatever the future he predicts of it, however, it has never been a world not worth saving to him--and the one permanent goal (but not dream; never dream) he holds close and true is that he will seek to crush any attempts to undermine that world. Team Rocket will always be a thorn in his side and his conscience, too, something which he will not and never let go of until he has made sure whatever rumors of them rising again are duly taken care of or erased.
