the real important stuff
APPEARANCE»»» Silver is around 6 foot 5 inches in height and weighs a lot less than the average for his height at 150lbs. His limbs are very long and skinny with barely any muscle toning. His skin tone is very, very pale and he always appears to have had a lack of sleep, with quite dark bags under his eyes which is a big contrast to his skin tone. He is rarely ever seen smiling which tends to make people avoid him quite a lot, but when people actually get to know him he is quite outgoing and bright.
His hair is bright red in colour and is quite unkempt. It is just below his shoulders in length and cut so that it is covering his left eye slightly and sometimes prefers to tie it back. His eyes are grey and colour and he sometimes wears black reading glasses. At first glance, one would see that he is a very dark and shady character, his clothes are mainly black with a red coloured lining on his jacket. The clothes he usually wears consist of a long-sleeved, high collared black shirt that has a dark red lining on it, light blue coloured jeans with a thick, black belt that he frequently changes the buckle on and finally a pair of black and red trainers that are perfect for walking long distances.
He has no body modifications such as piercings or tattoos, but he does have some scars on his back, arms and legs from taking care of some of his father's Pokémon but they are all in places that are easily covered up, he hates people asking about them.
PERSONALITY»»»Arrogance;;
Silver has the personality of your typical smothered rich kid. Despite the fact his mother died of an early age, he was spoiled rotten by his father up until he was around nine years old, which gives him his 'I get what I want, when I want' attitude. Along with this, he is also used to not having to answer to anyone, as his father was rarely ever home and he was the only person Silver would give respect and listen to when he was growing up, so he normally just turns a blind eye to what certain people say to him.
Gentleman;;
There is no denying that Silver is a ladies' man, he will not hesitate to flirt with any girl he sees, unless he is in an extremely bad mood, in which he can be quite rude to them, or he is quite depressed, then he will seem distant and quite ignorant. But, it is only when he gets to know these girls better that he decides whether or not they are worth his time. If he decides that he does have feelings for them, he will then treat them with the utmost respect, spoil them, treat them like princesses and reveal a side to them that no one else even knew could exist in him.
Prankster;;
Silver gets bored very very easily and he will waste no time pulling pranks on anyone and everyone he can within his area. These pranks usually range from just little jokes e.g. pulling a chair from under someone, to more severe ones e.g. pursuading a Pokémon away from a trainer for an amount of time, depending on how bored he is at the time.
Respect;;
Despite all of his downsides and flaws, Silver is very respectful, although he will only give respect where respect is due. As long as you respect him, he will respect you is kind of his motto and something he picked up from his father to help him stay civil with people.
Firey;;
The word 'Firey' is possibly the word that describes Silver best all round. He can be quite short tempered depending on who he is dealing with and he does not hesitate to just let his thoughts rip loose on people. In battle, he does get slightly power-hungry and will bark orders and throw insults to the opposing Pokémon and his own to no end.
HISTORY»»» 1-5 years old;;
Silver was born into a very rich family. He lived in a large, Manor type house just outside of a forest, it was surrounded by a large wall that accomodated, him, his parents, Pokémon that lived in the long grass in the grounds, the caretakers that worked around the house and the very rare guests that stayed there. His father was a business man who specialised in Pokémon goods and Pokéballs, who was frequently being called out to other regions due to work. So in his younger years he relied on his mother for love and attention which she supplied in endless amounts. He was introduced to Pokémon at a very young age, starting with Eevee's and over time, the bigger, more menacing ones.
When Silver reached the age of four, his mother fell ill with a disease that had no cure. She never really explained to Silver what it was but she did tell him that in a year or so, she would be going on a very long journey and may not be back for many many years so he was to be good for his Dad and the caretakers. When his mother did pass away, it was just after he reached five years old, his father was still out for work in another region and wasn't expected to be home for a month or two. He quickly grew bored with the caretakers telling him what to do and getting nothing in return, so he became defiant and didn't listen to anything they told him which is when his arrogance began to grow.
»»»6-10 years old;;
When his father returned, it was Silver's sixth birthday and once hearing about the death of his wife, he was distraught and didn't leave the house at all, not even for work, for many months. In that time, he spent all of it either with Silver or grieving. He showed his son how to battle with Pokémon, taught him all about breeding and showed him a little about Co-Ordinators and what they do. Under his care a Houndour egg hatched and quickly became attached to Silver and his father promised him that on his Tenth birthday, that the Houndour could be the Pokémon he started his journey with, which he was very happy about.
When he reached eight years old his father started going out on calls from work again. So he was left at home with the caretakers. But seeing his father so broken made him sort out his act a little and he would reluctantly help the caretakers out instead of becoming more of a problem to them and earned the respect from some of them. Over the next two years he just grew closer and closer with his Houndour that he nicknamed Alice. He helped out with the other Pokémon and some got a little too friendly and overpowered him and playfully fought with him, which gave him his scars.
»»»11- Current day;;
It was when he reached Thirteen years old he decided to finally leave home on an adventure with Alice. So when his father came home for a week, he explained his plans and everything he was going to achieve to his father, who was behind him one hundred percent and sent him off with the knowing that he's able to return home whenever he needs to. After he'd been travelling for a while, he hadn't really made any friends and prefered it to just be him and Alice.
The first Pokémon he caught on his own was a Male Growlithe which he nicknamed Wesker. It took quite a while for Wesker to get used to travelling with Silver, but after some time of being well treated and trusted enough not to run away while training, they grew to be great friends.
ROLEPLAY SAMPLE»»» "Alice, use Quick attack, while he's weakened!" Silver barked yet another order out to his Houndour. He knew that both his Pokémon and the opposing Growlithe were in bad shape, but he wasn't willing to let the chance to catch another Pokémon pass him by again. Alice growled under her breath before loyally obeying her owner and sprinting towards the Growlithe and striking it quickly. The Growlithe whimpered and collapsed, unable to hold up it's own weight for much longer and barked at Silver and Alice. "Good girl, Alice." Silver muttered as he fished a Pokéball out of his bag and threw it towards the Growlithe. The Pokéball opened in mid-air, enveloping the Growlithe in a red light before pulling it into the Pokéball.
It shook once... Nothing. It shook twice... Nothing. It shook a third time...
Alice could feel the tension building in Silver and as soon as the Pokéball made the clicking sound to show that the Pokémon was caught, she gave a quiet sigh of relief. Silver was grinning as he walked over and picked up the Pokéball before turning back to Alice and handing her a Poffin. "You did very well, I'm pleased with you, Alice." Alice just blinked and stared up at her trainer before snatching the Poffin and eating it. "Houndourr.~" She chimed happily after finishing it and stood close to his left leg, her usual place.
Silver then began walking to the next town after he had put the Growlithe's Pokéball in his bag "I think I'm going to name him Wesker." The Houndour looked up at her trainer and happily replied with a "'Dourr." Silver petted her "Well, I best get you both to the nearest Pokémon Center, to get you healed up." He said as he withdrew his arm and continued on, looking rather stone faced. Alice just sighed relieved and nuzzled her nose on her trainers leg.
