[spoiler=Timothy Green]

"Any man who would bleed by my side, is my brother."

 

Name:  Timothy Damascus Green Junior, a.k.a. T.J.

Gender:  Male

Age: 24

Trainer Class: Street Thug

Native Region:  Orre

 

[spoiler=Appearance]

Timothy is African American, with a skin tone much like peanut butter.  He is relatively tall, standing at six feet, four inches in total.  His hair is black, and he always keeps it neatly braided, never going past the nape of his neck.  He has a small nose, full lips, and average sized eyes and ears.  Typically, he can be seen wearing a red and black open sports jacket, with what appears to be a plain red t-shirt underneath it.  If you were to lower his jacket, you would see that on the back of Timothy's t-shirt, in cursive writing, is a name:  Mickey.  His jeans are blue, but are fading due to constant wear.  There is a single tear over the left kneecap of these jeans, and beneath it you can see a lengthy scar running up Timothy's thigh.  He wears plain white socks, with red, black, and white sneakers on his feet.  They are dirty, and very worn.  On the bottom of the right shoe, and in the tongue of the left, Mickey's name is written again.  Timothy also has a single tattoo on his right forearm.  It is a black heart with a red arrow piercing through it.  The heart sits atop a grave, and the gravestone reads "Mickey". [/spoiler]

 

[spoiler=Personality]

Timothy is very belligerent.  He has behaved this way since he was a child.  He will speak his mind without hesitation.  If something bothers him, he will say so.  However, Timothy is also very compassionate.  Once he has put his heart into something, it will keep his attention for an undetermined amount of time.  Timothy is also somewhat of a vigilante.  While he doesn't care for authority, he will often take matters into his own hands if it means helping someone.  And while he doesn't mind helping others, Timothy will often look for some kind of payment for his services, regardless of what they may be.  Though aggressive, Timothy knows how to properly place his anger, and possesses great discernment towards others.  Though Timothy is a Street Thug, he is actually moderately intelligent.  He managed to attend two years of college, before dropping out.  A terrible event in his life drew him into a depression, and shattered his heart (emotionally).  Still, he keeps his head high, and hopeful.  This makes him a very trusting person, and, despite his appearance, very trustworthy as well.  If someone were to take the time to get to know Timothy, he would slowly reveal himself as the down to earth, good hearted person he intends to be.  However, because of his upbringing and past, he struggles to reach that within himself.[/spoiler]

 

[spoiler=Biography]

Timothy was an only child growing up.  His father, Marcus Damascus Green, raised him alone, as Timothy's mother had disappeared into a dark part of reality.  At the young age of 17, Timothy's mother, Tracy, had given birth to Timothy.  It was mere eight months after Timothy was born, that she had to give him up.  Tracy, unfortunately, was addicted to an unknown substance.  It was rich, powerful, and sated even her greatest of hungers.  She would use this substance frequently, buying upwards of five times a week.  However, the only way to get a fix was to have money, which, while taking care of Timothy, quickly ran out.  And so, in a desperate and disgusting attempt to get loaded once more, Tracy gave Timothy up to his father, leaving him on the man's doorstep one early Sunday morning.  Sure, she would save a few hundred dollars, but at what cost?  Tracy would never see Timothy again, and Timothy would never know his mother.  Instead, Marcus Green, Timothy's father, would raise him alone.  And growing up in a rather rough neighborhood, Marcus would have to make Timothy learn to fend for himself.  From the constant street gangs bickering and fighting with each other, or picking on the weak and frail, Marcus made sure Timothy knew how to analyze a situation, and whether to run or fight.

 

Fast forward four years later.  Timothy is a scrappy little brat, always getting into trouble at school, shoving other kids around, day dreaming, and goofing off.  Marcus, on average, reported to Timothy's school preschool at least twice a week.  And though he often scolded Timothy in the teacher's presence, he praised the boy for defending himself at home.  

 

"Don't you let any of those wusses push you around," Marcus told Timothy one day.  "The minute you let up, the minute they take advantage of you.  Don't just push back.  Push through."  And Timothy loved that about his dad.  He was always encouraging Timothy, even if it was dangerous.  "But don't slack on them books either," Marcus would always mention.  "You might be scrappy, but I'll be damned if I raise a dummy."

 

And though Timothy never met his mother, he would often ask Marcus about her.  Some twelve years later, after dodging and avoiding Timothy's questions about Tracy, Marcus finally gave the boy a straight answer.  "Listen.  Your mom, she was no good.  I don't even know how we ended up together, short as the relationship lasted.  But she loved you, that much I know."

 

"If she loved me, what she give me up for?  Don't sound like love to me."  For the first time, Marcus actually grew angry with Timothy, punching the sixteen year old across the jaw, and sending him to the floor.  "Hey!  Don't you ever talk about your mother like that.  She might've brought you into this world, but I'll take you out.  You ever say something like that again.  Hear me!?"  Timothy held his jaw, saying nothing as he got up.  Storming off to his room, this spark would be the end of his relationship with his father, as Timothy began to develop another instead.

 

Never knowing the love of a woman, Timothy fell in love quickly in college.  Her name was Miranda "Mickey" Tate.  She was five feet and seven inches of gorgeous.  Long, beautiful black hair and sharp enveloping green eyes were just some of her best features.  She was smart to boot, and as Timothy would often say, "she bad".  Miranda was also of African American race, and she and Timothy were quickly drawn to each other.  At the time, she was fully involved with the university swim team, while Timothy spent his spare time running track.  They were both very active, in more ways than one.  Their relationship quickly became very serious, and Timothy wanted to be able to properly court Miranda.  He soon picked up a part time job cleaning a local Pokemon gym after hours.  Over the course of eight months, he had saved enough money to afford and maintain a vehicle.  Miranda was extremely excited, and was surprised to learn he had gone to such lengths for her.  He would pick her up from school and her home every day, if only to spend more time with her.  However, this vehicle would prove to be the nail in the coffin for Timothy's love life.

 

One cloudy evening, Timothy and Miranda were driving back from school, on their way to Miranda's home.  They stopped for a quick bite.  Nothing fancy, nothing expensive, just something for the evening.  It was after pulling away from their food run that Timothy turned down one wrong street.  At the end of it, two teens dressed in all black clothing, stood blocking the street, with Pokemon at their sides.  Though Timothy blew his horn, they did not move.  Then a second group of teens walked up behind the vehicle, also with Pokemon at their sides.  "What the hell?" Timothy wondered aloud.  Leaning out of the window, Timothy called out to the kids in his way.  "C'mon man, we got places to be!"  One of the teens replied.  "Nah.  You don't have to be nowhere."  They ambushed the car, each of the four teens with Houndooms at their side.  Snatching Timothy out of the vehicle, the pursuers proceeded to steal the vehicle.  However, Miranda attempted to hold on.  "Timothy!" she cried out, struggling.  "Leave her alone man!" he called.  "Mickey!" She continued fighting, as one of the thugs kept Timothy pinned to the street.  When Miranda wouldn't comply with the thugs to leave the vehicle, one of the thugs grew irate.  "Ain't got no time for this shit!  Kill that bitch!" he yelled.  One of thugs backed off from the girl, as another unchained his Houndoom to sick on Miranda.   "Crunch," was the last word Miranda would hear, as she began to scramble for the opposite side of the car.  She looked Timothy dead in his eye, as the Houndoom snatched her by the leg, and began to tear Miranda apart.

 

"Mickey!  MICKEY!!  LET HER GO YOU--" but Timothy was knocked out cold by a punch from one of the thugs.  When he awoke, Timothy was in the hospital, with several bruises, and a bad cut on his leg.  His first words, after waking up, were for Miranda.  "Mickey?  Mickey!  Mick--Mickey," he said beginning to sob.  Never raising his head, T.J. would not see his father standing by the bedside, with a get well card and something Timothy had never managed to get his hands on before:  A Pokeball.  Timothy wept for hours, his father never leaving his side.  When Timothy finally managed to recover, he forced his way out of bed, pulled the various medical devices from his body, and snatched up his clothes.  "T.J.--" Marcus began, but he stopped himself.  Marcus recognized the look in the boy's eyes as he got dressed.  Before he let Timothy storm off, he shook his son's hand one last time.  "I never told you about this, 'cause I didn't think you were man enough to handle it," Marcus said placing the Pokeball in his son's hand.  "Take this.  And go payback the dudes that messed over you.  But T.J.," Marcus said as T.J. began to leave the hospital room.  "Don't kill these guys.  You don't need a rap sheet.  Use that to your advantage.  Win a battle.  Grow from it."

 

Timothy stopped, turned back, and embraced Marcus with a hug.  "Thanks pops," he said shedding another tear.  Darting out of the hospital, T.J. would find his revenge that he sought, and did exactly as his father told him.  With Pokeball in hand, Timothy single-handedly took down the four teens who killed his girlfriend, only to discover they were operating a violent Pokemon gang.  Somehow, while managing to stay in school, Timothy moved out on his own away from his father's home.  He stopped attending university, and began to one at a time, hunt down members of this violent Pokemon gang, and defeat them without killing the trainers.  He would then interrogate the loser, and find his way to other members of their gang.  When he wasn't hunting down gang members, Timothy was toning his body, making a name for himself as a thug.  He did what he had to for money, stealing from people who were "too rich" and keeping out of sight most of the time.  He began to practice sneaking around, and eventually, was able to interrogate the Pokemon gang members without having to battle them.

 

Soon, he made his way to their leader, and defeated them swiftly.  Forcing them out of Orre, Timothy still felt empty.  He soon turned to a life of unusual crime.  Timothy would hunt down Pokemon gangs in the area, and invade their ranks.  He learned how they operated, climbed high up, and took down their leaders.  In the process, Timothy freed the Pokemon who were essentially slaves to these gangs, and developed a heart for Pokemon.  However, the one thing about Timothy that never changed, was the Pokemon he was with.  He trusted this Pokemon with his life, and so did the Pokemon in return.  Soon enough, his team began to grow, as Timothy found more and more Pokemon to join his cause.  But when he was approached about a job for some real potential money, he dropped everything hoping to use this opportunity to make something of his life.  With his Pokemon by his side, Timothy accepted.

 

"And what made you choose me?" T.J. asked.

 

"You have . . . a certain set of skills."[/spoiler]

 

[spoiler=Pokemon Team]

[spoiler=Helios]

Name:  Helios

Species:  Arcanine

Gender:  Male

Nature:  Jolly, Loves to run

Ability:  Intimidate

Moves:  Flare Blitz, Wild Charge, Agility, Roar, Snarl, Close Combat

Held Item: Quick Claw

Personality/description:  Helios was a gift to Timothy from his father, Marcus.  Helios is a very active Pokemon, and loves Timothy dearly.  Helios and Timothy are nearly always walking around together, as Timothy does not like the idea of keeping his right hand man in an enclosed space (or any Pokemon for that matter).  Despite this, Helios has never resented Timothy when he was forced to put Helios away.  Helios is well groomed, with a shiny coat, and clean, sharp teeth.  He is very proud of himself, as Timothy always praises him.  Helios was Timothy's first Pokemon.[/spoiler]

 

[spoiler=Cross]

Name:  Cross

Species:  Breloom

Gender:  Male

Nature:  Adamant, always looking for a fight.

Ability:  Technician

Moves:  Bullet Seed, Mach Punch, Spore, Protect, Power-Up Punch, Substitute

Held Item: Focus Sash

Personality/description:  Not quite unlike Helios, Cross loves to move around.  On the battlefield, Cross tends to bounce around a lot, hence his nickname.  He enjoys sweet things, and has much more fun battling if he has something tasty before fighting.  He has a personal, friendly rivalry with Mars.  They compete and train each other often, but Mars often allows Cross to win.  Cross was Timothy's fourth Pokemon.[/spoiler]

 

[spoiler=Mickey]

Name:  Mickey

Species:  Milotic

Gender:  Female

Nature:  Bold, very shy, very careful, but very loving.

Ability:  Marvel Scale

Moves:  Scald, Recover, Dragon Tail, Ice Beam, Disarming Voice, Safe Guard

Held Item: Leftovers

Personality/description:  They met when Timothy was freeing trapped Pokemon from the clutches of gang members.  She was just a Feebas then, but she caught his eye.  The Feebas had clearly been abused and mistreated.  It swam alone in a small fish tank, dirty and scraping at the glass with it's tongue for food.  T.J. quickly scrambled around for fresh water and food.  The way the Feebas reacted to T.J., almost thanking him, made Timothy smile.  He did not formally catch Feebas.  Instead, he picked up a dusty Pokeball not far from it's tank side, and Feebas noticed.  Going back into it's Pokeball, Timothy scrambled away, where he would later add Feebas to his team.

 

Mickey is very composed.  She is often shy in battle, but will not hesitate to defend herself, her fellow Pokemon, or her trainer.  Mickey, like Helios, is very close to Timothy, and naturally protective of him.  Mickey was Timothy's third Pokemon.[/spoiler]

 

[spoiler=Mars]

Name:  Mars

Species:  Haxorus

Gender:  Male

Nature:  Adamant, proud of its power.

Ability:  Rivalry

Moves:  Dragon Claw, Poison Jab, Earthquake, Swords Dance, Brick Break, Taunt

Held Item: Lum Berry

Personality/description:  Mars is very competitive, but he is also very sensitive.  His personal rivalry with Cross has lasted since they first met through Timothy.  When Mars was but an Axew, and Cross was still a Shroomish, they butted heads for the spotlight.  Helios would always outshine them both, but Mars and Cross ignored him, continuing to compete with each other.  Cross believes himself to be stronger, even though Mars knows this is not true.  When Mars won their first battle, Cross cried.  And since then, Mars has allowed Cross to win every battle, pretending to faint when Cross begins to look weary.  Mars was Timothy's fifth Pokemon.[/spoiler]

 

[spoiler=Grace]

Name:  Grace

Species:  Mawile

Gender:  Female

Nature:  Brave, never backs down from a challenge.

Ability:  Hyper Cutter

Moves:  Play Rough, Sucker Punch, Iron Head, Protect, Mimic, Foul Play

Held Item: Mawilite

Personality/description:  Grace is very sassy.  She teases the male members of Timothy's Pokemon party, including T.J. himself.  Though she is feisty, she secretly cares deeply for Timothy.  She hides this by using Mimic on him.  If Timothy says something, she will often mock him in Pokemon speak.  Helios finds this hilarious, and will often egg Grace on, urging her to continue playing around.  With that being said, Grace also likes to muscle around with the rest of Timothy's team.  She loves to box with Cross, never backing down even when she is behind.  She is closest to Cross because of this, because he doesn't take things easy on Grace, despite her gender.

 

Grace found her held Mawilite while exploring with Timothy in the southern region of Orre.  While tracking down a stray gang member in the caves of the region, the duo stumbled upon Mawilite.  Grace clearly seemed attracted to it, and ever since, Timothy has been attempting to find a way to help her utilize it.  Unfortunately, he has no knowledge of Mega Evolution, or what is necessary to achieve it.   Grace was Timothy's last Pokemon to be added to his party.[/spoiler]

 

[spoiler=Damascus]

Name:  Damascus

Species:  Gengar

Gender:  Male

Nature:  Timid, laughs crazily and almost appears to be insane.

Ability:  Levitate

Moves:  Shadow Ball, Sludge Wave, Focus Blast, Icy Wind, Confuse Ray, Pain Split

Held Item: Life Orb

Personality/description:  Damascus is  . . .hard to explain.  This Pokemon was the second addition to Timothy's party, after being freed from the gripey hands of a Pokemon gang as a Haunter.  Damascus, when not in battle, spends his time terrorizing the lives of Timothy and the rest of the party with pranks.  Whether it's a ghostly image of a Charizard, or a bucket of water over the head, Damascus loves a good laugh.  However, for some reason, he has never pranked Mickey.  This is the most odd thing about Damascus to date.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

 

[spoiler=Items in Bag]

A torn ribbon that belonged to Miranda.  Timothy clings to it when he is most upset.

A picture of Marcus and Helios, before he evolved into Arcanine.

Three bottles of water.

A ski mask.

A carving knife.  Not overly sharp.  Mostly for making tools out of wood or cutting meat.

Five Pokeballs.

A slingshot.

A ragged notebook, and three black ink pens.[/spoiler]

 

[spoiler=Skills/Specializations]

Timothy is very sneaky.  He tends to be able to get around places very easily without being noticed or attracting attention to himself.  And because of his size and build, he is also very intimidating.  With his intimidation comes charisma, as he tends to have an easy time winning people over and convincing them to trust him.[/spoiler]

Upon graduating and finding herself a stable job at a lab she attempted to return to the dating scene. Again and again though her relationships failed, and now nearing 40 Victoria has resigned herself from regret to simple apathy in the aspect she will ever find a soulmate.

Mkay, preparations for bloody coup are being made as we speak, CowCow is having ideas of what to do next.

That being said, gotta get a hold of Zai for some things. And either we'll advance, or y'all can continue interacting for a bit.

But within a couple days posting WILL continue one way or another.

As cowcow said, be it me or him, we'll be moving along in the next few days. I start a new job next week so hopefully by then my schedule will normalize, but if not, Cow's got it covered and I'll catch up when i can. Sorry about the terrible timing everyone.

Alright folks the time has come.

 

Post if you wanna post, don't worry about Zai's lack of intro post. (Sorry, Zai, I understand stuff is happening but...) I know specifically Keto and UE have people they can respond to directly.

 

In about 12 hours I'll be making a post to move the plot along one way or another. Unless someone seriously objects and needs a LITTLE more time. (emphasis on a little).

To better clarify: 

its k bby ily <3

 

I think I can post, but I've been waiting for Zai or anyone else to evacuate since T.J. was trying to keep track of the trainers.  But if not, I can yank someone with me.

Alright then! Who's in this? Are you guys still interested? Cause I plan on working on stuff regarding this RP today. But I don't want to waste my time if y'all aren't wanting to.

 

I have to admit that my interest is waning. But I am willing to stick with this still, as of now.
