General Appearance: Takashi has brown skin fairly dark like a piece of tree bark. His hair is naturally white due to a family genetic defect poliosis.



Hometown: Cascadia City

Personality: Takashi is a bright and kind soul. Often trying to keep a positive attitude as he knows a level head can overcome almost any situation. His desire to help those in need can often overwrite logic especially in intense situations. Not only that but he often tries to see the best in others and this can be to a fault as it can be perceived as naivety despite Takashi's reasoning that there is good in everyone. An absolute lover of Pokemon especially one's with evolutions and is a fanatic for intense Pokemon battles!

History: Takashi was born to Ito Ikamashi And his wife Zuna Ikamashi. Both exceptional trainers in their day both having met in their individual journey to the Pokemon League in a battle against each other. His Father Ito went as far as to challenge yet be defeated by an Elite 4 member before deciding to end his run as a challenger for the League.

After his loss, Ito ran into Zuna again and the two began to journey together falling in love during their adventures. Eventually the two married and settled down in Cascadia city. When the two found out they were pregnant they were elated beyond measure. It was then that Takashi was born.

Ito and Zuna noticed at a young age that Takashi had some kind of unspoken connection to most Pokemon. Ito's Ace Pokemon Bisharp as well as Zuna's Ace Luxray took an immediate liking to the child and most of his toddler years were spent nuzzled against Luxray as well as climbing and swinging on the arm of Bisharp. Even wild Pokemon would come in contact with Takashi and more often than not would engage with the boy in a positive way. Bird Pokemon flying around him to play, bug Pokemon like Butterfree and Beautifly landing gracefully on his head, even a wild Munchlax sharing apples with him. Ito felt his son would be an excellent trainer one day and when Takashi was the age of 6 he began to train him and teach him the ways of Pokemon and Pokemon battling.

With his father and mother homeschooling him for a good portion of life Takashi became very well versed in knowledge of Pokemon and especially battling. They then sent him to a Pokemon School where he became top of his class where he also met who would become his all time rival Kaz. Kaz became jealous of Takashi's knowledge and skill as well as his popularity among the children for having Parents who took on the Pokemon League.

One day Kaz invited Takashi to an outing with other students telling Takashi that he discovered a legendary pokemon hanging out inside the Djenganti Monastary and that he wanted to check it out. Not wanting to miss the opportunity to see a Legendary Pokemon in person Takashi, unknowing of Kaz's resentment for him, agreed to go.

Takashi then inquired about the Monastary's rule of needing an escort or badge to enter and Kaz explained that they were going to sneak in at night. After doing so Kaz told Takashi the Legendary was inside one of the buildings and after convincing him to enter it Kaz closed the door and managed to lock Takashi into it. Not wanting to be found by the guards Kaz ran away abandoning Takashi who began to panick.

Takashi wandered the halls calling out for help and saw the faint form of a figure across the hall. Takashi cried for help and then stopped when he realized it was the Pokemon Duskull. Duskull floated around Takashi seeing the boy was distressed and began to juggle pieces of fruit for him in an effort to make him smile. Takashi lost his fear of the Pokemon once realizing that Duskull was friendly. After Takashi expressed his want to leave Duskull phased through the door and unlocked it for him.

The guards found Takashi and scolded him for his actions before Ito and Zuna arrived to pick up their son. When the three left after apologizing Takashi noticed Duskull was no longer in the room which left him sad because he was unable to thank the Pokemon or even say goodbye. On the ride home Takashi stared out the window thinking only of the Duskull who helped him. Ito and Zuna let out a gasp which shook Takashi out of his thoughts. He turned to see Duskull floating peacefully next to him in the car before it laid onto Takashi's lap.

Ito realizing Duskull was a wild Pokemon gave Takashi a pokeball and allowed his son to capture Duskull who went willingly anyway.

This made Takashi even more popular as he was the only student at the academy who actually had a pokemon of his own. Kaz was suspended from school for his actions after the other students told on him due to genuinely feeling bad for Takashi and for having gone along with the prank.

Takashi and Duskull trained together as their friendship and bond strengthened. Takashi expressed an interest in challenging the Pokemon League and Ito told his son no better way to start than to go out on his own journey and challenge the Pokemon Gyms and collect the necessary badges. And so With his partner Duskull, Takashi ventured forth saying goodbye to his parents and began his Pokemon journey!

Hello and a hearty welcome to Godai!

I will be the first mod to look at your app, if you'll have me~

Okay, so, starting from the top, please include units for weight and height (lbs. and " '), so that people don't get confused. I know you're not gonna weight 175 kg, but it's nice to have it explicitly stated.

The hair is definitely very extravagant, but how is his hair outside of being gelled up and white? Is it straight, wavy, curly until he styles it? How long is it even? All little tidbits that say a lot about your character. Also, regarding the poliosis condition - I actually cannot find many resources saying it turns your whole hair white, just some patches. Sometimes even skin. So I may be misinformed, but I don't think this would really be possible. I think you could just say he dyes it white, and that'd save Takashi a lot of stress, or expand on the poliosis thing with more details, but I don't think that'd allow you to have a naturally white hair color.

As for the eyes, I think describing their shape and size would be a welcome addition. But otherwise, good paragraph (I can't really imagine the change in hue due to a bright idea, but I really like the image of it happening, and I think it could be perceived that way, so you can leave that in).

The clothing and accessories part is a bit short, but not to a fault. I think it's passable. If you want, you can add stuff like his style and clothing preferences in there, but it's not a requirement.

Now, onto General Appearance. I would like if you could include information about his stature, figure, body shape, special marks (freckles, moles, scars, etc.) if any. We covered the poliosis thing in the hair section, so you know my stance on that. You can also include his body language in here, although that's not seen too often, in my opinion, so you'd be doing extra.

The last section I'll cover in this post is Personality. You're going to have to extend it a bit. From that paragraph I have a good idea of Takashi's archetypal traits, but I want to know more about him. His fears, his ideal. His hopes and dreams. His quirks, flaws, aspirations. You can also include hobbies, likes, dislikes. How he interacts with people, with Pokemon. How he views himself, how he views the world. There's so much to talk about, it'd be a shame to just leave it at one paragraph. I know you can think of something, your writing isn't bad, so if we put in collaborative effort, I'm sure we can do it!


This is all I'm going to cover in this post, but let me tell you upfront, you will have to do some big changes to your History. I don't want to overwhelm you, so I'm leaving that for when we've finished all of the things listed above, but you'll end up changing it a lot. This doesn't mean your history is bad, because it is a decent base, but there's a lot of lost potential in it. And I hope that together, we can excavate it.

Thank you for your patience and reading through all this! As I said, this is just the first part, after we're done, we'll fix the history and Pokemon section, and then you'll get your approval from me! Don't worry, looking at how you write, this should be a perfectly doable process.

Hope to see you around more!
Fury~
