Appearance

Zephyr stands at an above average boy size of 5"10 inches tall. He weighs about 64kg's in weight His hair is green and is gelled up almost everyday so it stays the same, his hair is also kept short as he dislikes the new "Styles" in fashion from his generation. Zephyr's skin tone is skin color but with a lighter tone of white. Zephyr's outfit is quite stylish with his double color high top shoes. He also wears long blue denim jeans with a combination of a white t-shirt with a black PokéBall in the center of it. The only thing un stylish about Zephyr's look is the bag on his back. It is well over sized and he carries it to most places.

Zephyr also has pokeballs attached to his over size backpack so he has his Pokémon on hand and has pokeballs ready to catch a Pokémon when wanted. Something unseen on Zephyr's appearance is his golden necklace with the same marking as on his shirt. He had gotten it made for his tenth birthday as a birthday present to initiate him into full time working with his family. The necklace helps him remind of the times back home. But the reason he carries around such a large backpack is unknown.

Zephyr also got a hi-tech camera for his leaving present, he wears it like an accessory with it connected to a neck strap and holding it just on his chest so it is easily accessible for him to take a quick snap of a Pokémon when need be.

Personality

Determined | Listener | Quiet | Brave | Jolly | Sarcastic | Long Tempered | Athletic | Calm Battler | Loveable

Zephyr is quite the determined teenager. If he has a goal he is determined to stick with it and put his full ability into the task at hand. Zephyr is also very quite, he doesn't say much and is very self consolidated. Zephyr has a few friends, but he doesn't associate with them as he would much rather be singular. Zephyr is brave in most circumstances, but it depends what it may be. Zephyr doesn't like show-off's nor does he like showing off himself. Zephyr is a teenager willing to listen to others, but if it is insanely stupid or dumb he deters away from that person. Zephyr is also quiet jolly with some of his closest friends but mostly with his family.

Zephyr is also quite sarcastic when he wants to be. If someone pees him off enough he will become tempered and make rude remarks or just start being sarcastic with different sayings to stop the other person. This is mainly one of the reasons' Zephyr doesn't have a large amount of friends. But most people short wire after a while. Zephyr is also very athletic, that is why he is so light and skinny looking. As a kid Zephyr played many different sports varying from baseball to football. Zephyr is a calm battler and thinks with strategy and not just straight forwards offense or defense. If Zephyr is getting tipped of within the battle he can get a bit edgy, but he won't snap or get outrageously angry. Zephyr is also the loveable type of person, he get's a lot of girl admirers of his green hair and how he styles it. Overall Zephyr is a good soul but has his flaws like everyone else, he tries not to worry about his flaws but rather build on his more positive traits.

History

Zephyr has lived his life with his mother, father, and two brothers. Zephyr is the middle child of three. He lives with Mary his mother, Liam his father, Ken his youngest brother and Jacob his older brother. Mary and Liam are both 34 years of age with Jacob being 18 years old and Ken being 14 years old. The Rowing family lives in Ecruteak City in the Johto Region and are well known for their family business. The Rowing's run a business which involves delivering wanted starter Pokémon to the Professors lab in New Bark Town. Their family business symbol is a PokéBall shape but colored a black color to make it stand out and be unique. Zephyr went to school for three years when he was five, but left to become home-schooled after being expelled and thanks to the local school bullies constantly bullying Zephyr for his uniquely colored hair and weird name. When Zephyr was eight one of the bullies named Malcolm tipped him over the limit by talking rubbish about Zephyr's family and how they are the worst parents in town. Malcolm was the same size as Zephyr then and Zephyr snapped and punched Malcolm fair in the nose and then started to brutally punch him until he was knocked out on the floor. Zephyr still hasn't seen Malcolm since that day, but if he does he hopes to get a bit more revenge for the emotional pain he put him through. Zephyr was brought up into the family business

Zephyr has grown into the business within the years capturing starter Pokémon to dish off to the Pokémon Lab. But has grown tired of the day to day need of Starter Pokémon. Zephyr spat the dummy at the age of 15 and told his Mother and Father he didn't want to be in the family business anymore. After years of Zephyr watching other new trainers start their journeys he felt trapped within a force field to tough to break. Mary and Liam have owned the business for 14 years and it has been successful since the beginning. Ken has been seduced over the years to helping Zephyr. But now that Zephyr has set out to start his own journey in the Caligo region, Ken has been has been singled out as the only child left to be destined to take the family business. Zephyr's older brother Jacob become a professional music artist and joined one of the most famous bands known as "Rock, Paper, Scars" which is a Rock/Heavy Metal band that roam the different regions to play at different event live. Zephyr despises his older brother because of his success.

Zephyr has recently picked up a hobby that he wishes to help him enjoy his journey more. This hobby is Photography. Jacob and Mary agreed that they would get him a very good camera for a leaving present. He wears the new hi-tech camera around his neck with the adjustable strap dangling just past his chest.

RP Sample
Zephyr was casually looking around the area, taking noticed of his surroundings. He seemed to have forgotten that things could have also been up in the sky. Zephyr was just about to look up to the sky when he noticed Buster get crash tackled from a weird looking Pokémon. It was a shocking appearance, and it took a while for Zephyr to work out what type of Pokémon had crashed into Buster. It was an Emolga, they were better known as the rattata of the sky. Why in the world though had it attacked his Scraggy though, had it just been careless and fell out of the sky or had it been knocked out by something else. Zephyr didn't really have any evidence to prove either, but his mind was telling him it was option one.

Zephyr looked at Scraggy as he stumbled to his feet, he had been caught well off guard by the Emolga. Scraggy didn't want to try and smile anymore as he stared eye to eye with the winged Pokémon. Zephyr noticed how Buster was feeling after being tackled out of no-where. Emolga quickly said, "I'm so sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going. Please forgive me.". Scraggy didn't feel in a forgiving mood at the moment, but Zephyr was the opposite. If it was an accident there was no need to further the issue though.

Zephyr watched Emolga turn it's back towards Buster and Zephyr as it walked along, it's wings seemed to be hurt from crashing into Scraggy. Buster wasn't letting the Emolga get away with hurting him like that, she would pay. Scraggy begun to scurry along the soft grass, with every step he took he got closer to Emolga. Emolga wasn't paying attention to Scraggy sneaking up from behind, and sadly for her she was brutalized on her already hurt right wing by Scraggy's Crunch attack. Buster had caught her off guard and had latched his teeth onto her wing until she screamed in pain.

Buster felt as though the score was even now, but Emolga was clearly in pain now. Zephyr watched with a shocked face, he had the chance to stop Buster from attacking but he didn't. He felt guilty now. Luckily for Buster, even after having contact with Emolga he hadn't become paralyzed thanks to the electric type Pokémon's ability known as Static. Buster smirked as he walked back towards Zephyr, now they could continue on and ignore the Emolga. She didn't see it that way though, that was a cheap shot by Scraggy and even when she was in pain she prevailed through to radiate sparks of electricity off her body until she released them all towards Scraggy as she used Thundershock. Scraggy begun to shake as he felt as though he was paralyzed, Emolga had taken it a step to far now in Buster's mind.

Buster frowned angrily as he turned to Emolga. Zephyr could see where this battle was going, and he was actually enjoying watching both Pokémon take cheap shots at each other. Although, Zephyr would have to tame Scraggy not to use any moves without his permission. Zephyr reached to his camera and brought it up to his right eye as he closed his left and focused onto the Emolga. *Snap, Snap, Snap*. Pictures of wild Emolga would be a memory of their first battle. Buster didn't care about pointless memories at the moment, he was so focused on wanting to hurt the Emolga for what she had done.

Buster felt the sparks of electricity still latching to his body, it seemed as though he was partially paralyzed. Buster the Scraggy begun to run towards Emolga, with every few steps he would slow down, speed up. An inconsistent rhythm. Emolga quickly caught Buster off guard though as she used Double Team to duplicate copies of herself. There was now at ten different Emolga's all standing in a straight line. Emolga thought hadn't expected Scraggy to have been keeping a keen eye on which of the ten she was. Buster lunged forward as he begun to emit a bluish-white light glow aura as he pummeled his head into the Emolga's body.

Emolga was sent flying five meters in front of Buster as the duplicates of herself disappeared. Emolga didn't hop up to her feet though. Zephyr anticipated that was Scraggy's knockout blow, and it seemed there had been recoil from the attack which resulted in Scraggy falling to the floor, he was shaking though thanks to the paralysis. Zephyr had expected the battle to be longer, but Buster wanted it over with. Zephyr walked over to Scraggy and grabbed his pokeball out of his pocket, he pointed it at Buster and returned him inside his pokeball so he could take a rest. Zephyr looked over to the Emolga and noticed that she was slowly rising to her feet, she had fought well against Buster, but he happened to be the more focused battler. Zephyr knew he could help the Emolga out if she were to join his team, only the grudge between herself and Scraggy would still exist. Zephyr placed Buster's pokeball in his pocket for the moment as he reached around to the pokeball holder on the side of his backpack and grabbed an empty pokeball off. He then tossed it at the Emolga, similar to how she had caught them off guard he was going to catch her off guard by trying to capture her.

Hello, welcome to Caligo! This is a great first bio on-site, I only saw a few minor mistakes. During the history you used the incorrect form of their--'there' instead of 'their'. I see you stumbled into the a lot censor in your personality. xD it's two words, not one.

Your categories meet the word requirements, and I appreciate that you wrote the RP sample from your character's point of view. 83

I'd say Zephyr is accepted, but I can't move boards on my phone so I'll let Cai read over it and move it tomorrow.

[hunter]

Thanks Kitty. I have fixed the 'there's' to 'their' problem. Thanks for fixing the a lot (two words, not one) problem I seem to always have. I can't wait to try my hand at roleplaying on Caligo.

[Kitty]

Thanks 83 as soon as Cai comes online and moves him you can start roleplaying. We're thrilled you've joined us here, and I look forward to role playing with you whenever I get the opportunity C:

[Cai]

Hey, congrats on your first bio, it's looking really nice! :]

As Kitty says, there's only minor mistakes I see, which are just things to correct in your own time. Basically you have some random capital letters creeping in where they shouldn't be (jolly, baseball, football, mother, father etc). Also, his measurements strike me as a little odd - I would say 5'10 is pretty tall for a 16 year old, and 52kg is very low as a weight for someone that height, so unless you mention his being very skinny, you might want to increase it a bit.

Otherwise, accepted~

[hunter]

Thanks Cai. I've fixed most of the mistakes that I could find. Thanks very much for pointing that out. I also changed his Weight to suit his height. Thanks.
