Carmine

Personality

Carmine is a very timid Zoura, staying far away from humans whenever he can. He uses illusions to hide his true form, commonly using illusions to fit in with the surounding area (ie looking like a Glaceon when in snowy areas).

Carmine avoids battles at all costs and whenever a battle commences he's quick to flee, using an illusion to distract the oppnent before running. If there is no way to run he will try to use his illusions to scare the opposing pokemon away. He likes to transform his apperence to a stronger pokemon to intimidate the opponent or to make the landscape around him look like it has changed.

Whenever there is an unsuspecting pokemon around Carmine likes to mess around with them and prank them. In the snow he'll throw snowballs and in the forests he'll pop out from the underbrush and surprise whatever pokemon is there. This has gotten him at the wrong end of a pokemon attack a few times before.

History

Carmine doesn't remember much of his young kit years or the skulk he was a part of. One by one the Zorua and Zoroark either left the group or were caught by trainers leaving Carmine alone with his mother. His mother raised him with a ferocious love only a parent could hold for their child. She protected him as best as she could but Carmine still got into mischief with the other pokemon they would encounter.

A day came when Carmine's mother had to protect him from a strong pokemon and she got very hurt from the battle defending her son. Carmine distraught by this made a weak illusion to have his mother look like a human and took her to a city close to where they were. He wandered the city streets looking for someone who would follow him to help his mom. After a few close encounters he found a kind human who followed him to his mother's side. It was then that he truly left his mom's side for the first time, she would be safe in the hands of the kind human, he could sense it.

Carmine with the skills he learned from his mother lived in the wilds around the city, looking at the city at night shining as bright as stars. He kept an eye out for his mom, he wanted to know she was safe and happy but couldn't bear the fact he got her hurt. He saw her after a few months of watching, she was happily by the side of the kind human who took her to be healed. The ache Carmine felt in his heart softened a bit at the sight. It felt bitter-sweet to him, she was happy but he couldn't be by her side anymore. With one last look at her he left the city outskirts in search of new places to travel.

Carmine's travels have taken him many places all over the world. He has picked up various trinkets from the travels. A small gray stone he has is his favorite out of them all, and it has been with him ever since he found it. With his travels he has picked up new illusion forms he uses to hide his true form. He still struggles to keep his illusions up for long and they commonly disapate when an attack hits close to him.
