He is a pokemon character….don’t judge me. I was on a pokemon kick for a while. Leave me alone. While I love the design, I may have him touched up a bit to make him look a tad bit older and possibly a little more rugged. However, leather, mesh, chains and fur will remain part of his attire.
Anyway…..
Name: Lorcan {Means “little fierce one”, derived from Irish Gaelic lorcc “fierce”} Byrne { pronounced O’ Broin and means “Raven”} Type: Trainer Species: Human Region: Unova Trainer Type: Trainer Gender: Male Height: 6’ 3” Age: 18 Hair Color: Black with blue highlights. Eye Color: Outer brim of the iris is a dark hunter green. Going in towards the center is a pale green, almost jade. Around the pupil the iris is a pastel yellow. Skin Color: Olive complexion. Other: Leather, mesh, chains and fur are always a big part in the clothes he wears. Not so much fur but those are the elements you’d find in his gear. At first glance he’d look some type of goth, rocker or maybe someone whose into BDSM. Only one of those categories is the case but that’s besides the point. The point is he just favors this sort of fashion. Latched onto the chains that usually hang about his waist is a silver iPod. He often listens to the playlist he customized while traveling and keeps on listening even when battling. The music helps keep him focused on the task at hand. Nature: Neutral for the most part but a wee bit of an Asshole. Personality: Self-critical- The high standards his parents had transferred over to Lorcan but not in the same way. Instead of having high expectations when it comes to others, he has high expectations when it comes to himself and when those expectations are not met he feels incompetent. Socially Laid-back- Lorcan is very easy to approach and get along with…once you get past his looks. Everyone is given the benefit of the doubt when he is getting to know you however he isn’t quick to befriend or trust. He would sooner call you a friendly acquaintance before he’d call you a friend. It’s hard to say or do something that will get under his skin, in fact you have to try very hard to piss him off. Doing so is ill advised. Inquisitive- Knowledge is power and this is a fact that Lorcan strongly believes in. As a rule Lorcan never turns down the chance to learn something new for he thinks that the newly obtained information could come in handy later if not in the immediate future. Mild Misantrhope- Lorcan to an extent hates humanity. The world is chock full of arrogant, selfish and manical pricks that don’t deserve his time or even the gift of life. Yet he is also aware that not everyone is like that and not everyone deserves to be treated like scum. Vindictive- Lorcan gives out chances upon chances. The fact that one has to try their hardest to piss him off is the reason you don’t want to get on his bad side. If you have managed to cross him, he will remember your transgressions and how everything went down. Forgiveness is not something that will be granted to you at this point. You are enemy number one. If you were on fire and all it took was a small droplet of liquid to save your life, he wouldn’t even spit on you. Keep your distance or he will make it his goal to destroy you. Strengths: In most cases that would lead one into a fit of panic, Lorcan has been able to retain a level head and keep calm. This has not always been the case but over time he has learned that panic provides no sort of assistance. He has mastered this skill through meditation and practice. Weaknesses: His drive to be the best at everything he does often causes him to be rather hard on himself. If his Pokemon lose he views the loss as being caused by his own incompetence and so he will shut himself off until he thinks he has learned from his mistakes. His eyes have a high sensitivity towards natural and artificial light thus he suffers from migraines on many occasion. To remedy this, he’ll often wear black shades indoors or out. History: Lorcan was raised by two strict individuals being his mother and father. His mother is a lawyer and his father is a doctor. The kind of house hold they upheld didn’t give him the luxury of leaving the house and exploring the world in search of Pokemon from the age of ten to fifteen like so many other lucky children. In fact he lived in an environment where it was viewed that Pokemon where not only a waste of time but were a waste of space as well. Thus Lorcan was forced to continue with his studies at the private academy he attended. His parents goal was to mold Lorcan into being an outstanding citizen but the older Lorcan became, the more he started to rebel. Lorcan just wasn’t one of those people that felt comfortable conforming to the standard expectations put in place by the media. He was his own person and determined to find his niche in life. His first means of discovering this niche was by writing. He tried his hand at short stories and poetry. In this area he found some room for improvement but over all he did very well. Still there was just something missing and so he moved on to painting only to out right drop the attempt. Paint and Lorcan should never be left in the same room together. The next thing he tried was music or rather playing the guitar. He fell in love with it for it allowed him to express himself in so many ways. At fifteen he managed to snag himself a summer job at a local music store and found some peace there though in his spare time he would read up on the newest info on Pokemon as he never lost interest in them. It is when he turned eighteen years of age and graduated from his academy that his old feelings of something missing from his life returned. He figured the same routine of waking, going to school…well now waking up, going to work, coming home and partying on the weekends or when he had time to himself had grown to become one big mundane routine. He needed a change in his life and he needed it now. Having made up his mind, he quit his job, packed up his essentials (wallet, iPod, and guitar) and left his home.
