Rook

(ch)  Personality [Updated for v2.0]

Rook tends to be calm, maybe a little shy at first but it may or may not wear off eventually depending on who the person is. He takes a great pride in himself, but is personally beaten down easily, hates to get into fights that aren't pokemon ones, for he sees no reason. Rook acts a little meek occasionally, and maybe a little nerdy but he is confident underneath his shell, alas, only in Pokemon. He will do what he is told to do dilligently and wont give up unless told to. Refuses to give into bribery or black mail, but wont get invloved in anything he doesn't want to. Independant and friendly occasionally, Rook is alright.

(d)  History

Rook led a sheltered chilhood, living in a rather large mansion in Kanto with no-one around to talk to, to play with or even to simply see. So he grew up knowing the servants and friends that came to the house, riding his father's ponyta out in the field or looking after the worker's pokemon while they served if the pokemon was of no use to them. Rook didn't see anyone until his eleventh birthday were he was given two pokemon- a ponyta from the fields and a guard growlithe that had been too restless to sit at the gates. He didn't leave for a year, but occasionally ventured out into the street to watch a few random battles. It was custom in his town not to leave until you were twelve, and on his twelfth birthday he left, skipping the Kanto he wanted to escape from and went to Jhoto. Upon arriving, he received a Cyndaquil as a present from his uncle. The only reason he has only fire pokemon at the moment is because of his love of them.

Ponyta - Male

Growlithe - Male
Nicknamed Soldier
Level 18
Hardy Nature
Still half trying to be a guard dog, Growlithe barks a lot at people. He was new and restless when he was given to Rook, and while he has calmed down a bit now he is still a little jump, leading to him being used a bit more often.

Cyndaquil - Female
Nicknamed Queens

Nervous Nature
Still learning to trust Rook after being given to him by his uncle, this Cyndaquil tries to shy away from Rook apart from in a battle. Never been keen on being the center of attention, she had trouble concentrating in the ring.
