Nature: Bold

Personality:
· Outgoing and bold
Approachable and likes to take risks, but knows the value of life. Lives for the thrill and not afraid to speak his mind. Occasionally inconsiderate in this regard.
· Proud and confident
Pride of a man. Will accept any challenge and will give it all at everything he does (with a few exceptions). Knows the limits of his skills, and is rightfully arrogant to the extent that he takes them. However, is willing to let others take over in tasks that is beyond his reach. Respects power.
· Obstinate and loyal
Part two to pride. Perseverance on undertaken tasks and reasonably unwilling to bend opinions and retract previous statements, but will yield under heavy female influence, exceedingly large sums of money (in the thousands; an expensive vote to buy), or scientific proof. Loyal to friends and family, and will be stubborn for their sakes.
· Chivalrous and mannered
Self-declared title and name of “Prince,” and will follow up on that stereotype: will not hurt females (unless asked by one to bout; even then will only battle hard enough to just win) and will help them when needed. Not perverted, only courteous of and considerate to ladies and respects their decisions with their lives.
· Cunning and with wit
Street smart to an extent, knowing all the ins and outs of pirating, money, and booze. Practiced art of blackmail, bribery and debauchery. Quick, sometimes snarky comebacks that were once stubborn and childish, now with an air of experience.
· Selfish and miserly
Will get what he wants, is the path he believes to his happiness. Willing to do whatever it takes to get there, unless it involves hurting females. Very possessive of money and his treasures, and uses them efficiently and wisely.
Background (Summary. Full version here: Poncho's Background [Full] ):
Poncho was abandoned by his biological parents at Poképark for being a shiny, unintimidating Litwick, but it was solely because of this shininess that caught the eyes of his foster parents, mother Murkrow and father Machoke. He grew up happily with them in Cove, and was homeschooled by his mother, who taught him how to read and write and how to search for and appreciate treasures. From his father he gained a love for the sea and ships, for his father worked at a shipyard, where Poncho made friends with the workers as well. One day, in an event that would evolve Poncho to a Lampent, a terrible shipyard accident killed his father, and his mother was never the same afterwards. She would neglect Poncho and pine to extreme lengths for his father’s sign of affection, which was giving her jewels, despite knowing that he was gone. Poncho concluded that his mother was delusional and played along with her imagination and convinced her that she could have jewels, and even make them herself, so that it would be like his father’s gift to her from above. And so he moved her to Tech, submerged her into the scientific community researching alchemy, and left her be. He borrowed a large amount of money from the shipyard workers, and had them help him build his own ship to sail around the sea to search for treasure – at this point he concluded that money was all that was important now – it would get his mother what she wanted, and keep her happy enough for him to continue combing the seas in search of adventure. And so that was what he did. He was very good at it, and earned a lot of money from it, some through dumb luck, and some with great gambling luck. His success was so sudden and great that it got to his head and made him super arrogant, to the point where he’d put a crown on his head and call himself Prince of the Sea. That soon ended, however, with a near encounter with death inside a cave that killed the greater part of his arrogance, as well as gave him a neat lookin’ scar, an irrational fear of heights, and more power, since he had evolved into a Chandelure in the process. Ever since, Poncho’s mellowed out, and focused on improving his skills and talents to the point where he could righteously proclaim himself the Prince of the Sea once again.
