Name: Lorrian Chroma
[#F8A14D]
Age: 18
Hometown: The Under
Personality:
Lorrian is a bit of a drab to be around, he is quite sickly, gloomy and usually keeps to himself. Though seemingly meek, he isn't shy or timid, compared to being uncomfortable in social situations, he is instead held back by a crippling sense of self-doubt in most social situations. In fact, his self-doubt defines much of his actions, he is a pessimist and somewhat cynical. Despite his quiet nature and self-confidence issues, Lorrian sometimes gets inexplicably angry and lashes out at others, even his own Pokemon, showing a strong sense of pride. He flips between two extremes constantly and can often seem emotionally unstable, though he strongly dislikes that part of himself and always tries his best to change.
Bio:
Lorrian has no memories of his parents, he spent his childhood in the underground town known as The Under, in the Orre region. The only thing he remembers as a child is battling with his Skarmory, day after day, with people he didn't know and didn't care about. Until one day, the town collapsed in and all its residents were forced to evacuate. Lorrian wandered the desert region of Orre alone, with his Skarmory, who didn't seem to act like a normal Pokemon. It was unnaturally powerful, but it was aggressive and would often lose control and attack humans. He didn't know where to go, or what he should do, until he met a kind Kalosian woman at an outskirts rest stop, who adopted him as a son and took him to Lumiose City.
In Kalos, Lorrian tried to adjust to a new normal life, but his Skarmory stayed the same, and even tried to attack him on one instance. This was when the wild Sigilyph he was supposed to be battling, swooped in and save him from his own Pokemon. His newest Pokemon, a Sigilyph named Fable, quickly bonded with him. With two flying Pokemon at his side, Lorrian became fascinated with the sky, and took up battling as a sky trainer, souring the great open air space of Kalos. He decided to travel and even take on some gyms, believing that would make his Skarmory obey him better. It had some effect, but not too great, yet Lorrian believed that someday his Pokemon that he has had for as long as he can remember will befriend him. Unfortunately, his journey came to a stop as he suffered a catastrophic flying accident on Route 9, which left him unable to walk. While Fable showed great distress and took care of him as he recovered, Skarmory was unresponsive like before.
As he recovered, Lorrian found out that the reason why his Skarmory behaves in such was that it was a shadow Pokemon, a Pokemon who's heart has been artificially closed to the world. With one shock after another, his adoptive mother moved them to her hometown of Ecruteak City, a quieter place where Lorrian can heal in peace. After a few years of sulking quietly, giving up on both Pokemon battles and his Skarmory, Ecruteak City's Bell Tower was once again visited by the legendary Ho-Oh. The Pokemon that is said to be able to bring eternal happiness. Lorrian scaled the tower, despite his sickly condition, and encountered Ho-Oh at its peak, in hopes that it can help him recover and bring back his battling days.
He was rejected by the legendary Pokemon, it simply looked at him, and turned away, leaving naught but a single rainbow wing behind. It is said that Ho-Oh only accepts trainers who are pure of heart, Lorrian was hit hard by Ho-Oh's judgment, as he realized how much he had abandoned in his own melancholy. Holding the rainbow wing close to his heart, Lorrian set off to a new region, wanting to find refind his old life and drag himself out of his past.
Typing Specialty: Flying
Pokemon:
Fable (Sigilyph)
Fable is Lorrian's Sigilyph, a kind soul who can't bear to see humans or Pokemon in pain. It is greatly troubled by its trainer and teammate's predicaments, but always tries its best to help them. It uses its psychic abilities to help Lorrian in his daily life, and is more well versed at defensive measures rather than battling.
Skarmory
Skarmory has no nickname, Lorrian has tried giving it one, but it does not respond to any. It is a shadow Pokemon that had its heart closed by a criminal syndicate in the Orre region to serve as nothing but a fighting machine. It is aggressive and often loses control of itself, and will attack Pokemon and trainers without Lorrian's orders. Due to these issues, it is mostly kept in its Pokeball.
Final Team: Sigilyph, Skarmory, Staraptor, Gliscor, Minior, [TBD]
