Name: Bari Tanner Age: 23 Gender: Male Hometown: English City Occupation: Trainer Bio: Bari is a good-natured, foolhardy soul. He always has a goofy grin plastered on his face and has a devil-may care attitude on the world. He's not terribly mature for his age, as show by his complete inability to keep his mouth shut. It's all a farce, really—he's not confident in himself at all, so he overcompensates with loudness and, oftentimes, stupidity. Nothing seems to bother him even so. A very obsessive lover when he sets his sights on someone, but that's pretty rare.
He's grown up in his big sister's shadow, and given that she's a gym leader, those are big shoes to fill. He admires her, though, and they have a bizarre sort of sibling rivalry. It's rather like they hate each other, but they're still like two peas in a pod. Maybe that's why he even tries to outdo her in strangeness of hairstyle...
In short, he's a fantastic derp.
Pokemon:
Venipede Nickname: Venus Gender: Female Moves: Rollout, Poison Sting, Defense Curl, Twineedle Nature: Docile Ability: Poison Point Caught in/at: Professor Seiya's Lab Item: Cleanse Tag (Bari: You never know about those evil spirits, man. Best to play it safe.) Ball type: Poke Ball Evolution chain: Venipede → Whirlipede → Scolipede Bio: She's a starter pokemon, nothing to exciting to say here. Very calm, she makes the perfect partner for the overexcited Bari. She just sort of goes with the flow and fights when she needs to. She's kind of lazy and likes to ride on his head when he'll allow it.
Sanpuru: Couldn't pick between these. First one is an intro/opening post and the second is more of how I interact with others in the middle of an rpg.

"So that's it, then? You're just leaving?" A short woman with light brown hair asked, her tone a mix of concern and anger. A much taller woman of the same age stood at the doorway, her stance indicating that she was about to leave.
"I didn't want to disturb you at this hour," the pale woman responded, looking back at the couple that had been her caretakers for the past week. Yashiro, the darker woman, shook her head. There was also a man standing near her; Kariya. Yashiro walked up to the albino in the doorway and thrust a strange black object into her hands.
"Rain, you can't go without at least taking more than the shirt on your back," she proclaimed, observing the tall girl--Rain--'s suprised look. "It's a backpack, hon. It's full of food and essentials." Rain blinked at the object, then found a zipper and peered inside.
Kariya, who had been mostly silent, lazily explained, "We packed you some crackers and stuff that'll last a while, and some instant ramen. Plus the money you left to pay for your board."
Rain looked at him in suprise. "I have to repay you somehow... you've been very kind to me." It wasn't much money, she knew that, but it was what she had made on their condition to have her pay for her keep. She didn't really want to take it with her, but Kariya seemed insistant.
"Nah, we're fine," the man said with a shrug, "you need it more than we do."
Yashiro pointed into the backpack. "I would have sent you a raincoat, but something tells me you wouldn't use it, so there's a towel in there, plus a change of underwear." Rain looked mortified for a moment. "In case you decide to jump in a river like you normally do."
The tall woman zipped up the backpack and clumsily put it over her shoulders. "I don't know however I can thank you..." she fixed one of the straps, then returned her gaze to the caretakers. "I guess... I guess I should go before the rain starts?"
"Yeah," Yashiro said, waving Rain off, "Get a move on, hon. I don't think I can listen to you mumble about that light any longer." She smirked, sarcasm fleeting across her features. "Plus, you know you can come back when it's all done, if you don't find anything. You're not exactly troublesome, y'know?" This was only partially true; indeed, Rain lived on instant ramen, which wasn't bad, but Yashiro had complained incessantly about how much electricity she was using to dry Rain's clothes every time she decided to go sit in the, well, the rain.
Rain smiled at them. These people weren't so bad. She wasn't sure if she could trust anyone, though, and she definately couldn't keep relying on these people. That light from the Ilex forest... it had felt familiar, just like the rain and the sea. But it had been even more familiar than that... something different. Like it had called to her. There wouldn't be a better time than now to leave and figure out who--and what--she was. "Thanks for everything," Rain said as she turned back toward the open door and stepped out into the cloudy day, her caretakers waving sleepily after her as she turned the corner and disappeared.
But she couldn't possibly fathom just how far she was going to have to go. Something told her there was an easier way than to walk north and all the way around the sea, but it wasn't clicking, and so she was stuck going the long way around. Good thing she had gotten such an early start... even though Rain couldn't see the sun for the clouds anyway, she was fairly sure it hadn't risen. She hadn't seen the red glow yet. And she had never woken up after the sunrise had passed.
And as Rain passed the sign that read, on its opposite side, "Welcome to Olivine City", she realized: This will be one heck of a walk.

The other girl's face betrayed her suprise. “Um… um…” Magna stammered, anxiety creeping into her voice, “I‘m going to the… same place as you… b-but," she glanced about frightfully, "that‘s not why I’m in a hurry… Let‘s walk and talk.” Rain's eyes grew wide for an instant as the other girl grabbed her wrist, actually reaching her wrist, in fact, rather than grabbing empty cloth, and begun to walk forward in a rush. Magna's quick, anxious breaths worried the tall albino, but she simply followed the girl as she rushed forward, repeatedly looking back in fear.
“The reason I‘m in a hurry… is because of them…” Magna looked back, a very curious Rain doing the same. Behind them were a multitude of the gray, magnet-armed creatures called Magnemite. Magna looked forward, her pace remaining quick, as she spoke again, “It‘s not like I hate them or anything… they just… follow me everywhere." Rain nodded slightly and stepped up her pace so that she wouldn't feel like she was being dragged. "They‘re attracted to me for some reason… More and more just continue to gather and they crowd me… I-I cannot take being crowded, it makes me feel so trapped and when I‘m trapped, I don‘t know what to do…” Magna finished, her breath ever quickening with her pace.
Rain kept pace with the anxious young girl. Afraid of being crowded? It was a little strange that she was getting so worked up... Rain didn't like crowds herself, but apparently Magna truly feared being crowded. At the same time, the darker skinned girl radiated mistakeness, like she said something she didn't mean to.
"I see," Rain muttered, continuing at a quickened pace as they reached the edge of Ecruteak City. The albino woman gave a small smile. "Well, since we're going to the same place, we may as well go together, right?" she said, looking at Magna with calm eyes. It was strange--Rain really prefered to be alone. But Magna was different. Something about her... unexplainable! Rain stayed expressionless as they continued. The same feeling which had made the cloudy-eyed girl confess her deepest fear to the woman of dark blue bangs made Rain feel like she should stay by this young lady, not even feeling uneasy with her. The fact that they both felt this, or seemed to from Rain's eyes, and were both heading to the same place reinforced Rain's original thought that the light was a call. Magna... was she also unable to remember her past? Called by the light to discover the truth? Rain let these thoughts flow in and out of her mind as she walked briskly at Magna's side.
After a time, the ruby-eyed woman tried to slow her pace; the surrounding environs had changed drastically from a forest to a large-looking town, assumably Ecruteak City. "Look," she said, glancing back where the Magnemite had been, "there are less. They must not like the city." Rain looked back at Magna. Maybe they could walk now? Running wasn't exactly her cup of tea, plus the distance before them was vast; they needed to conserve their energy... not to mention, Rain was a little thirsty. She had walked quite a distance form Olivine and a little slowing down would be required before she could wrestle the canteen out of her backpack again. They probably would need an alternate form of transportation soon, anyway... Rain was only about halfway as it stood, and she was getting winded.
