Town of Residence: Lumiose City
Appearance: Iagan's human form still has the spiky purple hair and red eyes of his regular pokémon form. He's almost always wearing his hat to cover the big, fluffy ears he was stuck with (not to mention his horribly uneven haircut) and will throw a downright fit if he's caught without it. He has a slight gap between his front teeth in both human and Gengar form and is constantly whistling through it.
While he doesn't slouch, Iagan tends to have a rather unbalance posture, often shifting from foot to foot and rocking back and forth on his heels. He's hardly ever static. His appearance is lazy at best, and generally unwashed. He does not appear to take baths or showers in his human form, but prefers to clean himself off as a Gengar instead (though this does little to nothing for his clothes). Fortunately, he finds that this means he can blend in fairly well with regular humans his age, particularly those at the university. The bags under his eyes help.
Height: As a human Iagan is 5'2". As a Gengar, he's 4'9".
Personals
Personality: Simply put, Iagan is a troublemaker. Blame it on his impish nature, but he can't seem to keep his sticky fingers out of other peoples' business. Before getting his human form his favorite pastime was lurking around people's shadows, waiting for just the right moment to pop out and scare the hell out of them. He still has yet to grow out of this childishness, even as a human, and will often poke and prod and tease until people are fed up with him altogether.
While he is very outwardly friendly, don't trust his grinning face. There are very few circumstances in which he will wholeheartedly trust anyone. So few, in fact, that he has yet to come across one of these circumstances. However, he'd be more than happy to string you along and drop you as soon as you become too boring for him.
History: Iagan has been a wild pokemon for most of his (after)life. He generally kept to himself as a Haunter, scaring people in the city for fun until he happened to get in over his head. One way or another, he was cornered by a rather ambitious trainer in broad daylight and caught for a short time. He proved very difficult for the trainer to handle and was rather quickly traded off in Southern Kalos to someone else. Unfortunately for the two trainers involved, this trade triggered his evolution into a Gengar and Iagan saw no further benefit in cooperating. Both trainers in question are still missing.
After the incident, he was making his way back to the city when he found a discarded Dittech off route 9. He wasn't quite sure what it was or what it was for, but he took it with him and tried to later trade it off to a Kabu member he found further down the route. Although the member didn't seem interested in trading anything for a Dittech (which was defective), Iagan grew interested in the gang and eventually joined. They have his loyalty just as long as he thinks they're useful.
Relationships: N/A
Extras:
- Even as a human, Iagan isn't fond of sun and will try to stick to shade and shadows.
- He's a late sleeper. Don't wake him before noon.
- He hasn't bothered to give himself a surname. Doesn't think he needs one.
- While he loves pranking other people, don't try and prank him. You'll start a war you don't want to see the end of.
- If he's not smiling, it's a very bad sign.
User Info
Time Zone: Pacific Time, GMT -8:00
Chat Availability: I'm pretty consistently online except for when I'm in class. Friday-Monday and most evenings are just fine for me!
Roleplay Mediums: Definitely most familiar with Skype, so that's probably where I'll be most, but I wouldn't mind trying other things.
Role-Play Example:
The schreeches were still echoing off the city buildings as Iagan scrambled around the corner, one hand pressing his hat flat against his hair and the other clutching at the old lady's wallet. He snickered, his feet skipping over the uneven pavement, so very pleased with himself that he didn't notice the officer until his nose was all pressed up against the badge.
The boy blinked in surprise. Oh. Oh, an officer of the law, what an entirely unexpected privilege this was. He quietly slipped the wallet into his back pocket and tipped his hat in the politest of fashions before continuing to amble on his merry way. Or he would have, if someone hadn't been hollering their head off back 'round the corner.
"Whoopsie." He offered the officer a grin that wasn't the slighest bit apologetic and took off down the street once again, hopping over cafe tables and giggling all the way. Silly slowpokes--they couldn't catch him if they tried.
