Orion Clegane
*Minus the sword obviously.Male/28/Rich Boy
Personality:
Orion's family wealth has made him a very confident person, many would call him cocky, however he does not see himself this way. Growing up Orion had no friends that were not also his family members, this has affected the way he interacts with others, whilst he is not shy, he doesn't open himself up to allow others into his life. One thing that may seem like a shock, is that Orion and his fathers relationship was very poor. Orion is the youngest son and thus due to the familys beliefs and old fashion values he has been neglected and thus clashed with his father and brother often enough to be vilified by them both. Orion's brother has been groomed into becoming the next head of the Clegane line whislt Orion had been cast aside and left wanting, he sees Pok?mon as his escape from his old life to start a fresh new one. However the rage and anger that has built up inside him may have an effect on the way he raises Pok?mon and the people he chooses to do battle with. As things stand Orion is out to take on the world and win, however a few good friends would be able to set him straight... should he welcome them into his life.
Backstory: Orion was born into a gentry family known as the Clegane's. One of the older members in the Clegane clan (Orion does not know who, only that he was dead when his father was born.) made all his wealth by stealing Pok?mon and selling them to an evil group of people who paid handsomely for them since they were a new phenomenon at the time, a man could get very rich very quickly by doing this. The man in question left all his money to the next in line and the process repeated until Orion's father was the head of the Clegane family. The Clegane's owned a huge piece of land where their whole family was settled, they kept to themselves and lived of their wealth as well as the fat of the land, trading what surplus they had to, what Orions father referred to as the "peasants" to ensure they had a steady income and to prevent against their money from ever drying up. The Cleganes stayed away from Pok?mon, claiming them to be evil and that they would have no part in their lives. This only heightened Orion's desire to train Pok?mon, he had heard all the stories of great trainers who came and went as he was growing up but never got to see first hand what they were like.
Orions ambition was heightened further when he hit his late teen years, his brother was being groomed to take over when his father passed and he was cast aside like an old toy, although he was still full of life. The attention from him was lessened and he managed to sometimes sneak away from their home and manage to catch glimpses of Pok?mon but without his own he was too scared to go near them in case they attacked him. He once managed to catch a battle, he was captivated by the experience, he couldn't believe his eyes, the sceptical seemed to hypnotise him. He was stuck in a trance watching two Pok?mon and their trainers battle it out. He know that this is what he wanted to do. Nothing worth noting happened in these next years, he grew older and became increasingly aware of the restrictions placed by his family. He was 23 by the time the most significant part of his life came to pass...
After numerous other adventures out of his home and into the wild he met a young girl, she was a pretty thing but she was very poor. A huge difference between their standing in society. He watched her from a far, admiring her and her Pok?mon, a small chicken like creature followed her everywhere, singing and chirping as they ventured on. Orion had the courage to approach her one day, she passed the same spot everyday around the same time, as he tried to come out from behind his cover, he slipped and went head first into the ground. The girl rushed to his aid and that was when they fell in love. For the next 4 years they met every single day. Her name was Lyanna and her Pok?mon was Torchic, the 3 played with eachother day in day out, Orion met her mother on a few occasions as well, though she seemed intimidated by his wealth and status and thought Lyanna would be better of without him. Thankfully she did not listen and the two continued their relationship until that unfortunate day. Lyanna suffered a heart attack and died at the age of 25, Orion was 27 at the time. Lyanna didn't turn up to their meeting point three days running and thats when Orion knew something was up, so he headed to her home and that is where he discovered the horrible truth. Torchic had not eaten in those 3 days and was becoming increasinly unhealthy, it sat on Lyanna's bed waiting for her to return but she never would. However, when Orion arrived and saw Torchic, it chirped once again and that is how he come to acquire the Pok?mon, the mother told him that he would die if Orion did not take him. "Its what Lyanna would have wanted." she explained and thus Orion and Torchic became best friends.
If Orion thought things could not get worse, then he was massively mistaken. Orion's father had found out about the girl and Orion had to confess to everything. After being beaten black and blue, he was ordered to release Torchic into the wild or leave the family for good. He made his decision with relative ease, he had already helped destroy the reputation of his family, even as an outcast, so he would never be welcomed, he did not want a lifetime of misery.
After some time travelling by boat, he made friends with an elderly gentleman who would not disclose his name. He knew who Orion was, and questioned his decision to leave, his lifetime of misery sounded like the dream he had always wanted. He was retired now, and travelling to discover new species or Pok?mon. He told Orion that he liked to spend time painting and wanted to capture the beauty of the land and the Pok?mon that inhabited it. He knew Orion was special and offered him a deal, he would give him his recently acquired Charmander, if Orion would consent to having a painting with Charmander and Torchic, which he gladly accepted. He arrived, exhausted and hungry. This is where his new journey would begin. Using his some of his fathers money that he had taken with him, he bought few supplies and 4 other Pok?mon, to complete a team so that he may challenge and hopefully defeat the best. Doubts entered his mind, would he miss home? Would he regret the path he has chosen, only time would tell.
Appearance:
Orion is a young man from a wealthy backround, this is evident from the clothes he wears. His family are gentry and inherited all they have. They have old fashion values, hence why Orion always wears his "Princely" medieval outfit of a purple and white robe, with a silver velvet vest pulled over the top, along with a black, gold and purple cape fastened on his shoulder by two broaches decorated with rubies. He has medium length black hair which is parted from his forehead and sits along side his cheeks. His eyes are fearsome, yet loving when he wants them to be. The bluey-emerald colour can strike fear into someone or they can welcome someone into Orion's life, the eyes are a powerful tool and Orion knows how to use them correctly. He stands at 6'2 and has a lean figure that is toned, but not muscular.
