Name: Nathan Duran, The Vagabond
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Species: Human
Appearance: Nathan is around six feet, with a lean build to him. Most of his muscles are located on his limbs, due to the amount of traveling he does. His black hair is often very messy, since he doesn't feel the need to brush while he's on the road. The length of which can reach to his shoulders, but he at least tries to make an effort to keep it short while staying in town. His eyebrows are fairly bushy, a genetic trait shared by his father, and his grandfather. His almond-shaped, green eyes only further show his laziness, as well as the small bags underneath them. He likes to keep a small, trimmed beard on him.
For clothing, he keeps it light and keeps it practical. He carries a duffle bag that contains all the clothes he needs, depending on where his wanderlust takes him. He almost always has a pair of hiking boots on, as well as durable jeans. His shirt tend to range from nothing if he's just floating, to winter clothing if he's making a trip up Mt. Empress.
Personality: Nathan can easily be described as having a serious case of wanderlust. He enjoys finding new locations, or even retreading old ground he he's been away long enough. Unfortunately, he developed a very lazy attitude during his stay on the Islands. This means that he has to been motivated by his own Pokemon to go faster or to even pick up a quest for someone. As expected of a wanderer, he has developed some key skills. He knows which plants can be editable, as well as the prime fishing spots on most of the islands. He'll always make sure to have enough back up supplies to keep his Pokemon fed.
Nathan often has a very blase, calm demeanor. Nothing really seems to rile him up, and he doesn't seem overly investing in anything besides wandering. While he doesn't dislike talking to people, he prefers to keep to himself unless he has had a previous relationship with the person. Make no mistake, he clearly can feel emotions, he just doesn't really like expressing them. While he is rather lazy, he'll pick up delivery requests as well as 'quests' from people. Sometimes he'll forget about them, but he'll be quickly 'reminded' by his own Pokemon.
History: Nathan was the first born son of Tomas Duran, the head of a wealthy and powerful company in Unova. He didn't have a lot of freedom as a child, due to his father micro-managing his life. How to talk, what subjects he should focus on, who was allowed to be his friend. Nathan had assumed this was normal, and didn't see much point in protesting. That soon changed when he hit puberty, and developed a nasty rebellious streak. He was often staying out late, breaking laws and dating girls his father disapproved of. His father soon began setting up marriage interviews for him, thinking that being a family man would force him to maturity. But what he didn't expect was for Nathan to just simply disappear, leaving his family and the region at the age of seventeen.
Freedom was intoxicating to Nathan, a forbidden fruit that he had tasted, and now wanted more of. He had heard about place called the Tarot Islands during his studies. A place of freedom, which sounded like heaven to him. With nothing more than his Wallet, the clothes on his back and Freya, he set out for the Islands. He arrived at Port Priestess by boat within a week, and soon found himself with the startling realization... he had no idea what to do. For the first time in his life, he had no sense of direction or purpose. This feeling was liberating for him. He decided to spend a few months in the town, picking up a part-time job while learning about the Islands. Once he was ready to set out, he took Freya and began to drift along the shorelines.
Throughout the years, he has had many adventures. At first he kept to Coin Island, but eventually he developed the skills and experience to travel to the different sections. Within a few years he found himself climbing Death Peaks, found himself mapping out forgotten ruins. But most of all, he found himself being rather content to just take it slower. As he entered into his twenty-fourth birthday, he now had a desire to just 'take it easy'. Of course, he was never the kind of person who did one thing for very long...
Ability: Nothing besides a commanding aura.
Pokemon Owned: 6
~Pokemon~
Name: Freya
Species: Lapras
Gender: Female
Moves: Surf, Ice-Beam, Thunderbolt, Protect
Ability: Water Absorb
Nature: Relaxed
Details: A gift from the head of a well-respected family. The intent behind the gift was to sway him into marrying their daughter, but he was never one to play along with such tripe. Like most Lapras's she's very calm and gentle, but can get a bit mischievous on occasion.
Name: Buck
Species: Gogoat
Gender: Male
Moves: Bulk-Up, Horn Leech, Earthquake, Milk Drink
Ability: Sap-Sapper
Nature: Careful
Details: Buck was the first Pokemon he befriended when he arrived, but it took a whole week to get this skiddish Pokemon to trust him. Although he doesn't mind being used as a mount, he prefers taking the slow, safer routes.
Name: Krokatowa
Species: Camerupt
Gender: Male
Moves: Fire-Blast, Earth Power, Ancient Power, Toxic
Ability: Solid Rock
Nature: Modest
Details: A wrong turn at Mt. Emperor was the first encounter between the two. The two came to blows, and fought well into the night. Seeing that neither of them had an advantage over the other, respect soon followed. Krokatowa has a sphere-like object attached to his head, and refuses to part with it...
Name: Salad
Species: Salamence
Gender: Male
Moves: Roost, Dragon-Claw, Toxic, Defog
Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Impish
Details: Salad is smaller compared to a normal Salamence, and with a lazy attitude to boot. He'll often fly with the bare minimum effort, and will happily allow himself to drift down river if allowed. Despite his statue, he has no trouble providing a lift to a good portion of the crew. When he fights, he becomes a different Pokemon entirely. Likes to join Freya in regards to pranks.
Name: Luna
Species: Reuniclus
Gender: Female
Moves: Calm-Mind, Psyshock, Shadow Ball, Recover
Ability: Magic Guard
Nature: Bold
Details: A very adventure-prone Reuniclus, she like to explore and find undiscovered locations. Instead of having a normal colour, she sports a shiny blue colour. She often shares the role of the motivator with Big Boss when it comes to quests or work, or actually getting the rest of the group up before noon...
Name: Big Boss
Species: Zangosse
Gender: Male
Moves: Knock Off, Facade, Close Combat, Quick Attack
Ability: Toxic Boost
Nature: Adamant
Details: A very commanding, bossy Zangoose. He thinks himself as the second in command to Nathan, and will often be the one to come to blows with the wild Pokemon. He often shares the role of the motivator with Luna.
It was going to be a hot one, he could already tell.
With the sun beaming down on him, Nathan let out a small groan as he drifted his hands in the water. Around him was a small convoy of pokemon, all drifting beside him. Even Krokatowa seemed to be enjoying the cooling effects of the water, but than again it was hard to get a read on his emotions. On top of Freya was a mildly bored Zangoose, who fiddled with the portable radio. They had been floating down river for the past few hours, mindless listening to the radio. The river itself ran through most of the Queensland Farms, so the whole afternoon had been rather peaceful. A few of the farm kids did follow him for awhile, but the afternoon heat soon caused them to give up.
"You're listening to KCB Radio, your number one radio station on Cup Island!" A voice crackled from the Radio, causing the Zangoose to reel back a bit. Evidently he had turned up the volume by accident, causing no end of amusement from the rest of the party. After turning down the volume, various ads began to play, causing Nathan to tune out immediately. His mind drifted to the time he first arrived to the Islands, it must have been seven or so years ago. Closing his eyes for a moment, he began to think about his time here. At first, it was just him and Freya, without a clue. He had met many fantastic people, including Pokemorphs and Gijinka. He had adventures that he would have never dreamed off, explored ruins that would considered marvels by the scientific community. He climbed mountains and swam though coral reefs, fought dangerous pokemon and even managed to buy a small home near the edge of the farms.
He had seen and did a lot in his seven years here, and he had no intention of stopping anytime soon. But for now, he was happy to just spend the afternoon drifting down the river, listening to whatever song was popular in King City. Maybe tomorrow he'll take Salad and fly into town for some supplies...
