.:Pokemon Village Application:. Ciderby *TheLostArts

Manga & Anime / Digital Media / Drawings

[05|19|2012] Update: It's hard to believe, but May 13th has passed and that is the day that marks Cider's first year since being posted.
To celebrate -and because I was getting a little annoyed with his old look- Cider's been redesigned! This time around I really focused on keeping him true to being Ledian-like, and I really think/hope that I succeeded.
Also, now that things are slowly calming down with schoolwork I'm really hoping to be more active on PV: namely with rps and starting to contribute to the Postal Office. Cider's the boss after all, about time he started acting like it!

^{------
Name: Cider
Pokemon: Ledian [link]
Age: 22 years
Birthday: February 3rd (Aquarius)
Gender: Male
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 136 lbs
Sexuality: Straight
Relationship Status: Single

Ability: Early Bird -Quickly awakens from sleep.
Move Set:

Personality:
Cider is a fairly easy-going character who does his best to share his optimism with those around him. He is a hard-worker and is very dedicated to his job; appreciative of his position and the people he meets as a result of it. And though he likes people, Cider is very poor at conversation and will often shy away from it or make very awkward/strange comments. He is a friendly, responsible and reliable person, but is also easily embarrassed and tends to over-dramatize everything. He does his best to cover up his insecurities, but is rather pathetic at it. Cider has very little patience for people who take the good things in life for granted.
Having been raised in a very sheltered community Cider's dressing habits have carried over to the village (semi-formalish wear).

Likes:
Cider loves looking at the stars (often watching them on nights he can't sleep), his job, reading, coffee, star-shaped anythings, being with friends, and exploring (both the village and forested areas). He also has a strong attraction to fire and will immediately become mesmerized by it and start to stare. His favourite season is spring because it's when all the beautiful flowers start to bloom and nature comes alive again. He also has a love for running -good memories from his childhood -and will often go for a jog around the village late at night when he's done with work for the day in order to stay in top shape and speed for deliveries. (And on the off day will also go to the dojo)

Dislikes:
Cider dislikes watching television (it frustrates him), staying in one place for too long, fish, insensitive people, overly sunny days (it burns his eyes), and fog. He becomes a little depressed on days when he can't see the stars. He also has a fear for intimidatingly tall people (6'5" plus) and birds.

Backstory:
Cider grew up in a very isolated community inhabited by a series of bug-typed gijinkas. It was a small town that operated both day and night, with some citizens being diurnal and others nocturnal. Cider was raised nocturnally, and as a result, slowly grew to fear the sun. When he was 17 Cider was dragged off by a couple friends to go off and explore the surrounding forest, and when they didn't make it home before sunrise he was surprised to find that none of them burned to ashes. The sight he saw that day -though very blinding from the bright light -was beautiful compared to the darkness he'd been used to living in.

No longer wanting to waste away living in such an routine way Cider left his home to go start a new life and soon fell in with the wrong crowd; a group of street racers. He was taught the trade of motorcycle racing and immediately fell in love with the levels of speed he could reach. Cider moved into the big city in order to take part, and basically became a minion to these new friends; keeping his naivety mindlessly doing whatever he was told. Cider and his friends grew to become a big name in local racing and some other teams didn't like the competition and would start fights in the street sometimes. To not be completely useless, Cider was taught the basics of martial arts, and seemed to have a natural talent for it.
A couple of years had passed when a life-changing event happened during a very heated race; one of Cider's friends got badly injured in an accident and lost the use of his legs. Enraged at first Cider tracked down the other racer involved in the crash (who was lucky enough to only be minorly injured) and threw all of the blame on him, feeling that his friend's injury was no accident. In a blind fury he attacked the defenseless man and probably would have ended up killing him if the victim's friends hadn't held him back and started beating on him. Left injured on the street he crawled back to his friends who admitted that they had no sympathy for him, and shooed Cider away feeling that they no longer needed him.

Embarrassed, defeated, and finally thrown back into reality, Cider realizes just how blind he'd been and became very tempted to go home, but knew that it wasn't an option. On a whim Cider gave up on racing and fled the big city to find a more peaceful and quiet place to live, where he could just put the past behind him. That's when he stumbled across the village and starts up a new life, determined to keep a smile on his face, convinced that with the attitude alone he'd be able to live in peace. He then decides to start up the Postal Office, familiar with the basics, having been an errand boy all his life.

Extras:
- -> Cider is a bit of an insomniac and has a lot of trouble sleeping, so he will often drift in and out of sleep during the day.
- -> After everything that's happened Cider refuses to fight without a good reason, but stills goes to the dojo to train as a way to relieve stress and clear his mind.
- -> His cheery attitude came a little forced at first, but after having met so many wonderful people it's now completely natural to Cider, and he's back to his old, awkward self.
- -> He hates technology. Cider can not understand how electronics work to save his life, and is very old fashioned when it comes to, well, everything.
- -> He's very dense and will often say very random/embarrassing things without thinking.
- -> He's a bit of a pack rat and has a hard time throwing away anything that has a good memory attached to it.
- -> "It is said that in lands with clean air, where the stars fill the sky, there live many Ledian. For good reason, they use the light of the stars as energy." From the Pokedex; On star-filled nights and the days that follow Cider is often fluttering about with an extra dose of energy. However on clouded nights when the stars aren't visible, he becomes abnormally drained and loses all will to do anything.

Roleplays:
I'd love to rp with anyone~ If you're interested please don't be shy to drop a comment!
I'm good with either lit or script format and prefer to use notes, but comments are alright as well.}
