Name:
Lorcan [Lohr-can] Peregrine [Pear-a-grin]
Nickname:
Lor or Pere
Age:
17
Gender:
Male
Trainer Type:
Trainer
Hometown:
Ecruteak City
Appearance:
A crop of black hair rests upon his head, grown out long enough to where his bangs sometimes manage to find his eyes, but cut short enough to prevent it from growing bothersome when a passing breeze comes by. He has an average build, not overly muscled like some guys but neither is he frail. Sharp, steel-colored eyes practically leer at onlookers, sprinkled lightly with sapphire, and brows are nearly always lowered slightly to give off a hardened, grim look with a frown to strengthen it. His expression gives off the impression he's always aware of his surroundings, that they hardly (if ever) miss a thing going on. The way he looks as well makes it seem he knows something that others don't, like he's holding some sort of secret. Wither this is true or far off will remain a mystery, though some can't help but be curious.
As far as clothing goes, Lorcan wears long sleeves and pants most of the time. Shorts and short sleeved shirts he just simply despises, with his body mostly covered it's more comfortable during bad weather and more convenient when traveling through long grass, thickets, or other obstacles. He doesn't wear light colors either, not to say it has anything to do with his personality (or appearance for that matter) but with light colors, things such as dirt or mud, grass stains, accidental leftover food, etc, show up more clearly and more so than if you were wearing dark colors. When out traveling, you'll very likely find him in an outfit consisting of a dark purple shirt that's black on the sleeves and a black line going from around the neck line to the bottom hem. His pants are usually slightly baggy, with plenty of room for easy movement and not so much restraint, but not enough where he'll trip over them. The color would range from a dark blue, black, or faded brown. Lorcan also enjoys traveling light, so rather than having a large backpack he has a somewhat thin one that's a one strap and colored a blue-gray, that goes over his left shoulder and around to his right side. Despite it's size, it's still pretty spacey, and he wears a brown belt to carry his Pokeballs on.
Personality:
They usually say 'never judge a book by it's cover', but in this case you may be willing to make an exception. Just as his appearance suggests, Lorcan wants nothing to do with anyone. In fact the only reason he'll talk to anybody is if it benefits him in any way. In this case he'll even try to appear friendly, at least enough to make it convincing toward the person(s) he's trying to deceive. He won't hesitate to abandon, betray, and/or steal from his "victims" afterwards, especially after he gets what he wants. Though there is one exception. For a reason that'll be later explained in History, the only time Lorcan may appear truly friendly and sincere are around younger children, though he'll refuse to show this "weakness" to anyone who may be observing.
Other than that, however, Lorcan takes pleasure in manipulating, deceiving, and using others to his advantage. If he sees an opportunity, he'll take it, without a second thought or feeling of regret afterwards. He has very little sympathy, but this doesn't make him merciless. Lorcan's clever enough to know that abusing those around him will make him loose power instead of gaining it, something he hates as he always wants to be in control. With that in mind, he keeps a balance of showing gratitude, praise, and the like when and where it's needed, but also reveal a stricter side to keep in mind whose in charge (like toward his Pokemon). Though favoring Pokemon more than people, Lorcan doesn't tolerate failure and therefore will be tough on his own team, forcing them to learn to take a hit and tough it out. If he isn't satisfied with the results, he'll go out and train the Pokemon until it grows stronger. If it ends up being more trouble than it's worth, he'll very likely get rid of it.
History:
Lorcan grew up in Ecruteak City his entire life without visiting any other locations. There just never seemed to be an opportunity, his father was always out with work (whatever he did) while his mother always seemed out of it and staring into space. So, to occupy his time, Lorcan visited the two towers within the city frequently. Overtime the young male had discovered a deep passion for history, he craved for it's mystery and to dive into the unknown. He learned all he could from the locals and went as far as asking his father for books of folklore and myths, relics, ruins, etc of Johto and even of other places. Not quite willing to do so at first, Lorcan managed to convince him with the promise of sharing some stories with his sister.
Of course he would of done so already without making the promise. His little sister, Abitha, was the only person that made him feel like he belonged there, his father only seemed to tolerate his presence while his mother just never paid attention. Though their reaction with Abitha was the opposite, Lorcan was never jealous of her. He always played with her, shared stories, and did his best to keep her happy. She was the only person he dearly cared about, and his sanctuary against the constant bickering between his parents.
At the age of fifteen, however, that all changed. Apparently having enough of the arguments (and to this day he still has no clue what they fought about though never cared), his parents finally split up. At first it seemed like a good thing, until he learned Abitha was going with their father while he remained behind. Naturally this sent all sorts of emotion through him, anger standing out more so than the others. However, for Abitha's sake, he made himself remain calm to give her courage of this new change and to not be frightened. Afterwards, though, he released all of his emotion in different ways, most of which that got him into trouble. It took a long while, months, until he finally calmed down. The emotions were exhausted out of him, in fact it seem all emotion was. After his phase, he seemed like an emotionless, uncaring person, which was probably worse.
His mother had fallen into a depression in the meantime. Lorcan was finally trying to get over the event, being difficult as he had no way of keeping contact with his sister, so he had to take on the responsibility of being the man of the house. However, after awhile, his mother became ill and with no will to fight it she perished. This didn't phase Lorcan, in fact he practically expected it to happen at some point. He had no sympathy and shed no tears, for how could he? During the funeral he had hoped to see his sister there, but of course that was foolish. Afterwards, it didn't take long for Lorcan to bail. There was nothing left for him in the city, so he decided to set out on a journey of his own.
Goals:
He wants to explore the world, make discoveries no one else has and visit places of the past. He also secretly hopes to find his sister along the way, though it doesn't seem very likely...
Other Info:
Lorcan means "Silent" and Peregrine means "Wanderer":
"Silent Wanderer".
Lorcan can also mean fierce.
He has an interest in joining Team Rocket. The thought of having to be bossed around for awhile doesn't seem appealing to him, but he hopes to earn a rank that'll change that...

Came across a link on dA while looking through a Pokemon Group. Unfortunately I can't recall the exact group or user of the person who posted it.
