Seeing those OC profiles for the Dakota Island on @prof-peach blog, I’ll jump in the scene as well ✌️
Meet Zakaria!
· Hailed from Southeast Asia, this 23-year-old person always wanted to do something that is beyond his comfort zone. As soon as he saw an ad about being a volunteer on the Dakota Island, he immediately signed himself up and departed to the island three days later.
· Upon arrival, he was greeted by the professor herself. But she didn’t actually have a specific job to offer just yet, but Grey heard this commotion and offered the job to him instead, asking him to help him out at the workshop. Peach actually cool with it as Grey may need extra hand.
· Today, he is an “Aspiring Assistant” (gave himself the title, much to Grey’s disapproval), helping on various day-to-day task, handyman work, repairing things, you get the idea… Critical thinker, hard worker, analyst and also able to work under pressure. Sometimes he’ll find a way to laze around, often lost in thoughts… Oh, and he is not a morning person either, Grey actually disapprove this as he usually wakes very early to restock the feeders for Pokemon and he really need his help to finish it faster.
· He currently have three Pokémon that he brought along, Zaid the Dewott, Atam the Umbreon and Malik the Emolga.
· Zaid has been his starter Pokémon since he’s started out as a trainer years ago. Decided to not evolve further for ‘personal reason’, he’s quite sensitive to that topic… (only Zakaria knows the exact reason) Other than that, he’s a loving Pokémon, always help Zakaria on all occasions and good with younglings. A bit of show off due to his nature, sometimes carried away if left unattended 😆
· Atam was his pet for quite sometime as an Eevee, then evolved into an Umbreon while exploring during his trainer’s days. He’s a fine gentleman, always calm and gentle, but rubbing his belly is a big no-no. He chooses on who is acceptable to pet him. If yes, he’ll start nuzzles on you. Prof. Peach have a hard time to earn her own “petting license” from him, but he’ll warmed up to her, eventually… Great scouter, useful for detect any dangers, alert to sounds and very, very.. uhhh, ‘clown-ish’ for a Dark type Pokémon. Have feline instinct and character, also purrs loudly 😆
· Malik was an unofficial Pokémon, mainly because he’s attracted to bird feeder that Zakaria’s built a year ago. After seeing this squirrel kept emptying the feeder, he changed the location and added some securities. But alas, somehow figured it out how to fish out the treats. Decided to keep him afterwards… A bit of oddball, extremely cheeky😆, very smart and affectionate to others (if food is offered afterwards…) Malik often hang out at Zakaria’s shoulder, sometimes at Grey’s head, thinking that it is a cosy ‘nest’. Self-proclaimed ‘Speedster’ claimed to be the fastest Emolga alive (yeah right XD). Always assists Atam when scouting the area, when he spots a potential danger, he’d warn Atam first before head back to Zakaria.
· Grey actually glad that he have extra pair of hands as he can concentrate on other harder task. He usually gave mundane or daily task to him while he handle the rest. Their biggest achievement is when they both built an automatic watering system for Pokémon and the crops using the windmill as a generator. Took 6 months to complete and they were proud of it
So that’s it for my OC for the Dakota Island volunteers. I hope you’ll like it!
