Drake Shaddix

[Ryder]

Name: Drake Shaddix

Age: 21


Gender: Male


Trainer Type: Dragon


Hometown: Blackthorn city


Appearance:
::HAIR::

Drake's hair is probably the most distinct part of his looks. Black, wild, and never groomed, it always hangs down into his eyes. He never bothers to try and keep it to what people would call "normal" because he honestly doesn't care. If anything, he likes his hair as unruly as it is because it covers his eyes, and allows them to blend in with the raven color atop his head. Each strand falls slightly to the right of his face, making it appear as if it has been styled even if it was completely untouched (as it usually is).

::FACE::

Drake's face is angular, and yet, holds a bit of gentleness that you wouldn't expect in a personality like this boy. Despite the fact that his lips are nearly always set in a straight line, or scowl, or at best a mocking smile, the innocence in him is prominent. His nose is sloped in an odd way, and dips slightly before forming its triangular point at the end of it.

::CLOTHES::

Drake, though coming from a wealthy family, wears clothes that make him appear as if he comes off the street. His collared black coat is tattered, giving him a rougher look around the edges. Underneath his coat is a dark purple-gray shirt, which clings to his figure tightly. On his legs he wears black baggy pants, which stay on him only because he wears a belt. He wears pitch black steel toed boots.

::BUILD::

Drake is slender, but not scrawny. Even if he doesn't have ripped out muscles, he is clearly in good enough shape to do some damage if he ever needed to resort to physical violence. His posture itself is always tall and proud, emanating his confidence to the world.

::OTHERS::

Drake has very few other notable features to him, but perhaps one that should be noted is his eyes. Though most of the time they are covered by his hair or hidden beneath his collar, his eyes say a lot about his mood. Each distinct change in his greenish-black orbs can let a person know if they should even try to hold a conversation with this guy or not.

Personality:
::ARROGANT::
exaggerating or disposed to exaggerate one's own worth or importance often by an overbearing manner


Yes,Drake is probably one of the most arrogant people you'll ever meet. Wherever he goes, he demands the utmost respect, and he does have some valid reasons, however, most of them are rather... bogus, if I may say so myself. He knows this, however, but that doesn't stop him from boasting about how skilled he is, how wealthy he is, or how famous his family is. He often only allows people to call him by his nickname "Thunder", unless they are somehow very close to him.

::AMBITIOUS::
having ambition; eagerly desirous of achieving or obtaining success, power, wealth, a specific goal, etc.:


With his arrogance comes extreme ambition, ones which he will try to meet by any means to make himself more justified in his boasting about. However, his goals are not what one would expect. He tells people that his ultimate goal is to become the best trainer that ever lived, however, in his heart, that is not the case. His main goal in life is to make his brothers, Slade and Jagger, proud of him. As the youngest brother, much pressure is put on him to be just as amazing as his two other brothers, and even surpass them in skill.

::CONFIDENT::
sure of oneself; having no uncertainty about one's own abilities, correctness, successfulness, etc.; self-confident; bold


Of course, his ambitious and arrogant behaviors don't come without this little piece of his personality. Drake radiates with confidence, which often times proves him to be a highly talented trainer. His confidence has also made him an icon of sorts in some areas, despite the fact that he is not the nicest on the block.


::INSECURE::
subject to fears, doubts, etc.; not self-confident or assured


On the flipside, Drake is extremely insecure, especially when thinking about those around him. He knows that he is talented, yes, but he is afraid that he will never be able to make his brothers proud, and on top of that, doubts that he will ever be able to keep a solid friendship with anybody. He keeps his inner turmoil to himself, and this often shows itself in his quick to irritate, and dismissive social skills.


::HEADSTRONG::
determined to have one's own way; willful; stubborn; obstinate

Let's just say, Drake doesn't give a flying toaster about anyone. Its his way... or the highway....



History:
To say that Drake was raised in a loving family is a huge mistake. After he was born his mother caught an illness and died leaving him with his father and his two older brothers Slade and Jagger. His brothers and father never looked at Drake with kindness or love in their gaze. His father was distant from the family and with the death of his mother there was nothing left to tie him to his sons. He never questioned why his father left all he knew was that his father never had any sense of love for his sons. Left under the rule of his two brothers things went from bad to worse. His brothers had allied with some people in hopes of gaining power over the regain. Drake was only a pawn to them and at times only getting in their way. As he grew Drake saw the wickedness in his brothers and was tormented by them through out his life.

When he hit the age of 21 years old his brothers plans started to fall apart and they quickly blamed him. At the peak of their abuse to him both his brothers had their two Houndooms burn his hands. Because of this he can't feel anything with his hands very well. However these burns would have been worse had it not been for a long Houndour that attacked the two Houndooms and chased them off. Ever since then Drake has wanted a Houndour just like that one, brave and doesn't put up with crap like that. After that day that was all he needed, he left his two brothers and set off on his own life. Chasing his dreams of training dragons and one day getting a Houndour of his own.

Pokémon in Party

Charmander
Name: Zane
Gender: Male
Level: 5
Attacks: Scratch, Growl
Ability: Blaze
Nature/Personality: Even though he first meet Drake, Zane seemed to have a sudden trust for him. He must have picked up on the pain that he went through when he was younger and now this Charmander swears his loyality to him. Its rather odd in fact Zane has a temper that is almost the same as Drake's. He's proud and the last thing he's going to do is back down from a fight. However, even thougth he's brave in battle pokemon that are bigger then him see to scare him and Drake often times has to calm him down to get him to fight.
