LET THE WHOLE THING BLOW

B A S I C I N F O

★ NAME: Sylvester Blackwood
★ NICKNAME: Sylve, Syl
★ MEMBER GROUP: Gijinka
★ POKEMON: Chandelure
★ AGE: twenty-one
★ HEIGHT: 5'5"
★ WEIGHT: 119 lbs.
★ FACE CLAIM: Quon Mizuchi from Towa no Quon
★ APPEARANCE:

Sylve has a child-like appearance. His form is small and quite light, he barely reaches five feet and five inches, and his round face further gives him the childish outer feel that completely contradicts his more mature personality (and his actual age). His dark hair has a weird tint, especially noticeable in strong sunlight. It is a weird feature that was given him after he obtained the gijinka DNA. To completely oppose that color, his eyes are vibrant blue in turn; contradicting each other, just like his personality and basic appearance does.

His clothing style might be considered simple, if he didn’t have some weird choices in his wardrobe all over. He usually wears a snood to keep his hopelessly messy hair somewhat in check, but that actually makes his childish appearance more feminine than anything else. A long, pale red coat is always with him as that is one of his favorite piece of clothing he owns (aside from the hair ornament, maybe), it is covering the more tightly fit, black sleeveless shirt and the trousers. That coat is there to actually hide some of his light form. Though he has a ghost pokemon's DNA, he does not appear transparent to others.

★ OVERALL PERSONALITY:

Sylve is a mature boy, more responsible than what people think of him from his looks. He can accept certain things with an adult’s mindset without any problems, and he easily engages in conversations with older people without any problem. Even while talking he may appear older than he looks, ironically making people assume he is years older (which is true, but his young appearance is alluring). Without any negative feedback, he is kind and tries to act as polite as he can, but despite all of his maturity, time and certain situations just ensures that he is still a child inside. He tends to get easily discouraged when people yell at him, and shies away when someone shows dislike towards him. He is also quite naïve, his lack of experience making him think always on the bright side and assume the best possible things of people. He thinks that no one has a reason to trick or make fun of him, hence he tends to end up as a scapegoat (at least that was a tendency back in his school), and fooled quite often by lies. He is gullible, and is a perfect target for people to play around with.

That was mostly the case when he was still a normal kid, and it didn’t change too much after he got the pokemon DNA either, except one thing. Before, he didn’t hold grudges against others, but as a ghost type, he has to fight against his own ghost-instincts so he won’t become too vengeful, as he knows that would make him want to hurt others as well. Though, this slight vengeful bloodlust comes around when in a bad mood. He thinks of it as a beast within himself that was born when his DNA was mixed, but sadly, his willpower is only good to keep it in check for so long. He was famous of his incredible patience and gentle nature, but he is afraid his gijinka existence will make him do something he would regret later. For now, he falls to a bad mood only rarely, though he can still say it is a simple mood-swing or sulking. Another side effect of his ghostly being is that when he is in a really good mood, he tends to get a bit mischievous and intends to play innocent pranks on others. It’s just something ghosts tend to do because... they are ghosts.

Getting the Chandelure DNA messed his spirit up quite much. Maybe it wasn't meant for a ghost type DNA to be mixed into a still living creature's body, so he doesn't always have control of his more vengeful side, and often worries that one day, his real body will just cease to exist, and he will become an ethereal being.

H I S T O R Y

• Sylve was born and has lived his whole life in Aether. He is the oldest child of the middle (almost high) class Blackwood family, with a younger brother and a younger sister. His life was what others consider normal and happy: his family members are on good terms, even the sibling rivalry is mostly just friendly bickering among the brothers and sister. His parents were nice, his outer family members were also nice, and Sylve was able to make friends during school as well.
  
• Talking about school, he was generally the good kid that either everyone liked or bullied. Since he was mostly kind and polite, he was able to warm up to people quickly, but as a naïve and gullible person, other, not so nice people often made him a target whenever they needed a scapegoat or just someone to mess around with. His friends usually did stand up to him and chased the bullies away, of which Sylve himself barely noticed, actually. As someone who can only assume good things about others, it rarely occurred to him that he was a target of bullying, rarely even believing his own friends when they tried to open his eyes to the situation. Sylve was just that naïve, which backfired ever so often. He was also one to willingly walk up to the more quiet and unsociable kids in class, and he did make a good friendship with the most introvert of people.
  
• His parents were, even after years of the virus dying out, worried about their children's safety, so they pretty much forced them to get the transfusion with the pokemon DNA. Sylve was strongly against it, as he was afraid something might go wrong during the process, or later after that. He was right, as one of his siblings, his younger brother died during the transfusion. None of the doctors expected that to happen least the family themselves, but it was too late to change their minds, since Slyve and his sister got the DNA as well. They seemed to be okay though. Sylve was in his teenage years during this time, and ever since he got the DNA, he didn't seem to age... though that can be illusional, or simply, a coincidence. These transfusions almost made them loose all their money on top of loosing a child, but they could still remain in the middle class section.
  
• Sylve actually wandered into the slums some times, and got almost into trouble many times, but somehow, he could always manage to escape (mostly due to a gang, or people who didn't actually wanted to hurt other). At one time, he even saw a whole gang being eradicated saved for a sole survivor...
  
• As of now, he is working part time at the Pokemon Center, and is aspiring to be a pokemon trainer or a care-taker.
