Personality: A confident, snarky guy that mostly keeps to himself unless he sees trouble. He's wary of strangers, though when you manage to earn his trust, he's sweet and "doggedly" loyal. He tends to not reveal his more anxious inner thoughts, preferring to keep up his cocky bravado in order to deter others that may try to take advantage of him. He won't hesitate to finish a fight, but he doesn't exactly go looking for them, he'd much rather enjoy the sights and learn everything he can about the culture around him.
History: Born as Lazarus, he doesn't remember much of his life before he was found wandering a destroyed village, having nothing but his name and a blue patterned bandana tied around his neck, and brought to an orphanage at the tender age of 8. Since he couldn't remember much of his old life without troubling nightmares and foggy visions and almost familiar voices popping into his memory, the young Rockruff became immediately attached to the first peer around his age to greet him and actually sit through his soft stammering to have a conversation with him. This peer was a younger shiny Eevee named Hypatos, or Toast as his Charmeleon sister referred to him as, and it was not an understatement to say that Lazarus was quite smitten with him from the start. He would follow the smaller fox around, and eventually, the two of them became the best of friends over the few years he lived in the orphanage. Once Lazarus turned 13, a noble-looking shiny Luxray came to the orphanage to adopt a child, looking for the oldest child there, which conveniently happened to be him at the time. He was torn about being adopted, while it was wonderful he was going to have a family, he had become increasingly attached to Hypatos, Wren, and the orphanage matrons. As a way of remembering each other, Hypatos gave Lazarus a joker out of his very first deck of cards, which he immediately tucked into his little bandana. His new father's name was Ackrea, the man claimed to be an "Honorable Pirate," essentially just a wealthy sailor that loved to travel and visit many places, and had a motley crew that all treated him like a father figure as well. The young pup was welcomed with open and enthusiastic arms, and very quickly fell into place with the crew and his father on the ship. The rest of his teen years were spent traveling the open ocean, seeing many exotic places, meeting fascinating pokemon, and getting an extensive education under his father's care. As he was approaching his 18th birthday, he became more and more restless during the night, staying up later to watch the sunset from the Murkrow's Nest and point out the constellations until he dozed off and was brought below deck by the night crew. On his birthday, Ackrea dropped anchor in the port of his home kingdom, a place where Lazarus got to visit on many occasions and get to know his cousins, aunt, and uncle, and the whole family and crew celebrated his coming of age. It was an uproarious celebration that lasted well into the evening, with drinks and delicious food shared. Despite so many friends and family being there to celebrate his life, Lazarus felt drawn away from the crowd, finding a moment to slip away and make his way outside. The full moon shone bright and large over the glittering ocean, the stars dimmed only a fraction by the light, Lazarus couldn't tear his eyes from it. With the moon high in the sky, he felt something resonate in him, feeling complete somehow. He stared at the moon for a long time, until he heard his father calling for him. As he turned to make his way inside, he got a glance of red in his peripherals, looking down at himself to find deep red where tan used to be, and his paws had become large with sharp claws at the tips of them. Ackrea found Lazarus, now a Midnight Lycanroc, staring in shock and awe at himself, chuckling and ushering him inside to get him situated with new clothing and share the good news. A few years after his evolution, Lazarus felt the itch to explore something new, the ocean was a familiar and nostalgic view, but he needed a change. Once they were back on the mainland, Lazarus confronted his father, and with pleasant surprise found support and encouragement. The next day he set off on his own with money and supplies, promising to meet his father in Aether when he was satisfied with his adventures. He traveled the various lands, entering different countries and getting to see cultures he didn't get to interact with on the open sea. He found in his travels, that his father was very well known for being wealthy, and to keep himself safe, he decided to take on a different name to avoid unsavory attention, settling on Caine. After five years of traveling, acquiring knowledge, and the odd nick-nack here and there, he finally made his way to Aether, passing by a very familiar orphanage on his way to the capital. The sight of it made old memories of his dear old friends come to mind, and he pulled out the old, tattered joker card he had been given so many years ago. Maybe he'd run into them again, surely they weren't very far. He'd have to pay them a visit, and maybe check in on his little cousin and father to see how they were fairing.
