Profile
Physical Appearance
Tybalt has the typical appearance of a standard Skarmory, although he usually looks pretty bored.
Personality
Tybalt is an aloof and rather quiet Skarmory who typically observes before taking any opportunities he can see. He usually seems disinterested in what is going on around him and tends to just watch what the rest of the team is interested in. He's primarily motivated by opportunity and following his "flock" of team members, so once he picks a path for himself, there is nothing that will change his mind. His priorities are supporting and backing up his trainer and team members, so whatever conflicts they get into, he's going to follow them without question. Tybalt doesn't particularly care about the reasons for the conflict or what may or may not be motivating his team members, and he just finds satisfaction in supporting whatever they may be doing. When by himself, he's typically quiet, aloof, and a deadly hunter who scans the desert in search of challenges to better himself and his skills.

Backstory
Tybalt was a wild Skarmory that soared across the skies of Orre, seeking out prey and seeking to stand out as the strongest of his kind. When he was a relatively young but still matured adult, he found himself in a confrontation against a young Pokemon trainer, and this trainer, Red, managed to catch him. Tybalt is the only Pokemon on Red's team of six that he actually caught on his own, so Red is particularly proud of this accomplishment, and Tybalt sees himself as an accomplishment as well. He seeks to better himself to prove that he can serve his trainer well and make him proud, since he was the one to best him in battle.
Trivia:
- All of Red's Pokemon except for Kit are named after characters from Romeo and Juliet. Red's Skarmory was named after the character Tybalt, but oddly enough in my parody version of Romeo and Juliet (titled "Row Me Over to Juliet"), Skarmory Tybalt does not actually play the role of the character Tybalt in the play; he is just another supporter of Red, who plays as Romeo. I just picked Tybalt because it's a cool name, but he wouldn't actually be an antagonist toward his own trainer in the modified plot.
- I already knew a long while ago before I named any of his Pokemon that if Red had a Pokemon team, he would definitely have a Skarmory. I think it's because of the Skarmory from Pokemon Colosseum, and they seem indigenous to the region. Or I headcanon they are, I can't remember. It's been a while.
