LET THE WHOLE THING BLOW

B A S I C I N F O

★ NAME: Lucas ‘Maverick’ Frantzen
★ NICKNAME: Lu-Lu (By close friends); Luke (By less close friends)
★ MEMBER GROUP: Epispect Gijinka
★ POKEMON: Persian
★ STATUS Legal
★ AGE: Thirty-one
★ HEIGHT: 5’11”
★ WEIGHT: 164 lbs
★ FACE CLAIM: Fuji Reito from Gekka Ryouran Romance
★ APPEARANCE:

Don’t let good looks fool you, Lucas is somewhat old (if you call thirty-one old that is). With light skin which he can easily get sunburned if he’s not careful enough, you can say that Mr. Frantzen would make a great male model. Straight nose, sharp face, long neck, a tall body, nimble fingers, yes he can easily work in any sort of modeling agencies. He has short ear length platinum blonde/white hair with his grey eyes to accompany his features. His light skin and hair color are a result of having the DNA of a Persian. He likes to keep his nails manicured very nicely, clean and sharp as if they were claws. In fact, due to the genetics of the Persian pokémon, his nails are very tough just like any other pokémon.

His body is fit, his muscles being lithe. Yet it looks like he’s still rather skinny for an average guy. He prefers to wear lighter clothes so it feels like he isn’t being dragged down in times of need. So, he would very much like wear something like a baggy long sleeved shirt under the usual white lab coat when at work as a researcher for Epispect. At times when being the secret field researcher or out of work, he tends to wear more classy pieces such as a beige or a mahogany button-up shirt with a half up turned collar and red or white tie. To top it off, he wears a casual, seemingly a little big for his size, black blazer. You can say that he wears dark colored dress pants with just about anything that works.

★ HABITS, QUIRKS:

• Smile: No matter when or where you find him, Lucas is bound to have a smile on his face almost all the time. You can say that he always had a smile on his face unless he’s serious or just in a bad mood. If he wasn’t such an actor, the man would be considered a saint, always keeping calm and smiling even if someone was insulting him or anything or anyone that’s a part of his personal life… until everything tips over.
  
• Licking: If he gets a wound, he would always find himself licking it instead of running to the first aid kit and start cleaning it up before any infections can happen. It’s a feline thing, leave him alone.
  
• Flexible and Light: He’s flexible but not exactly a professional contortionist due to his muscles. This also means that he’s able to walk around without making much sound, silent if he’s going barefooted. It gives him a sense of balance and can easily just randomly startle people like cats.
  
• Hair Pulling: Like a persian to its whiskers, whenever Lucas's hair is pulled (with some force but not to the point where one would rip his hair off) he shall become rather docile... He hates this and will try to protect his hair at all costs.
  
• Purring: When petted or massaged, the male will unintentionally purr like a kitty cat. When aroused he will purr. When... well, those are the only situations where Lucas might purr.
  

★ OVERALL PERSONALITY:

Ah where to start… Let’s go with first impressions. Lucas seems to be a man that’s very tolerant and just smiles, a lot. He shows manners and even holds this dignified and elegant air around him. He seems helpful towards those who needs it. You can call him a gentleman already with that slight flirtatious undertone. Yet, that’s what he wants everyone to believe. He wants to keep his darker traits hidden so study can be simpler. It’s just the surface of the inner workings of this man’s mind. Anyone who is actually like that is rather flat in his opinion personality-wise.

True fact, he’s a knowledgeable man, working as a researcher for Epispect. As one of the successful test subjects himself, he aims to continue to study the progress of psychological advances for all gijinka including himself. He needs to be efficient and consistent when doing this type of research, making sure no variables go unchecked. Not to mention, one would need the talent of coaxing certain gijinka to cooperate with his research and needs a heart of ice so he won’t get attached with the test subjects. As part of his manipulative play, seduction works well under certain circumstances and he isn’t going to let his good looks wither like a rose. Flirting, teasing, playing around, he’ll do it to anyone he might find interesting as a test subject or simply just to see their reactions.

As a researcher on social behavior on gijinka, he adapted traits of the Persian, including how violent the pokémon can get himself. It’s an urge he tries to control, but when provoked he won’t hesitate to injure anyone. He tends to scratch people across the face as the first line of attack with his neatly manicured and sharp nails. Then things just take off from there actually which turns to a cat fight.

The male finds himself to be a prime example of when pokémon DNA affects the mind of humans and consider himself to be rather precious. He was not exactly brain washed by those who took him in when he was a child. In fact, Lucas embraced Epispect and their ideals before anyone can start making him believe that the choices Epispect make are good. Unlike the others, he was different, he believed that he was different, that his mind is more liberated and that he is able to make more complex decision making than the children around him.

The gijinka grew up loving himself, what a childhood that was. You can say he only developed a passion for three things: himself, his research, and his sadistic tendencies. Everything else can be discarded and be simply trash in his eyes. Looking down upon the others around him made him develop a taste for making himself feel superior – sadistically speaking. At times, it amuses him to see the progress of gijinka living in the slums, their hardships in life almost laughable to him. It’s all just a twisted world, filled with so many horrible thoughts and emotions. Let’s face it, life is never fair. You, you insignificant little creature can’t change fate no matter how hard you try. No one can, so it is best just to live (and for him, laugh) through it.

H I S T O R Y

• Lucas ‘Maverick’ Frantzen was unfortunate enough to be born in a time in the world where the virus was strong and people were dropping dead like flies. Fortunately enough, his parents were well paid as medical caretakers and unfortunately once more, had a higher chance of being exposed to the virus. He, however, showed that he was a quick learner at his first couple of months. Three months he was already babbling and making horrible imitations of what his parents were trying to say. This brought temporary joy into the stressing lives of his parents. Five months, he started making vowel sounds and even combining consonants, and soon at just nine months, he’s starting to understand simple directions.
  
• As if it was a stroke of luck, Lucas started out as a baby and into a small four year old boy without making much contact with the virus. A miracle with his parents line of work. He was soon taught by his mother who stayed home more often as things had gotten worse and continued his growth of his body and his mind. However, not much about morals were taught since this was a time where just surviving is the prime instincts of most people. He was taught the fundamentals on how to just live in a world like this.
  
• Two years later at the age of six it seems like his luck ran out. He started showing the symptoms for the virus and his parents immediately grew worried. They were always careful when dealing with the patients, taking all of the safety-measures to at least try to lessen the spread of the virus to themselves. It was not soon later that both also shown signs of illness. Epispect had soon told everyone about a possible cure, despite the risks and thinking best for their son, both parents had offered their child with hopes that he would survive such terrible ordeals. They donated their money to Epispect for it was a time of need for everyone and they were never heard from again.
  
• Lucas had survived the blood transfusion and was given the DNA of a Persian. At this, he quickly thanked Epispect for saving him and even if he was still confined so they can monitor the boy. He grew to accept the ideals of Epispect, . He still remained rather unemotional towards other subjects however. Even when discussing the topics of his parents… which soon faded from his mind entirely.
  
• As a few scientists of Epispect grew to like the boy and information about his parents simply vanished, one had decided to bring the nine year old boy under his care. This was the stage in his life where Lucas discovered a passion for the revolutionizing discovery of gijinka, how they were made and everything about it. In the end, the man took in an apprentice rather than a son.
  
• Under the instructions of his new adoptive father, Lucas, how at the legal age of eighteen, ended up working with Epispect, as an official assistant for his new family member. He then took interest into a more specific branch of the study of gijinka, mainly the psychological studies of gijinka. He took his time observing the subjects on how they acted and on his own, started to take and organize notes on it, often comparing it to the pokémon where they had received their DNA from. He too had viewed himself as a subject, and often had written comparisons between his personality, habits, and quirks to the Persian. As he was written about himself, the papers seemed to be more detailed, but there was a very high chance that it was biased.
  
• When he was twenty-five, the white-haired man presented his findings to his adoptive father, which was soon passed on to others in the research branch. As he took his independent research more seriously, he began leaving the lab to further observe the gijinka in a less controlled environment and sometimes would take control of the environment himself, interacting with other gijinka namely the legal ones.
  
• Mr. Frantzen was allowed to have a small research team for himself to officially continue the psychological studies instead of just some serious hobby about three years later. He was also funded and some time to time, a new test subject would be brought in for observation and testing. Some say that this study is morally unethical and that gijinka should just live without being watched over or placed into situations purposely that can leave a traumatic experience to them, but Lucas doesn’t care at all, he enjoys it.
  
• To this day, his research still continues as Lucas does more field research, often taking him out to the slums and other conditions different from the usual sheltered life under the care and observation of scientists.

★ OOC NAME: Captain
★ AGE: 20
★ OTHER CHARACTERS: None
★ RP SAMPLE:

“Ah, so it is possible to have feuds with seviper gijinka…” A man muttered to himself, quickly dashing notes into a pocket sized notepad. He was out once more, observing one of the natural habitats of a zangoose gijinka, apparently having a heated argument with a seviper one for very trivial matters. So, he has already gathered enough evidence to see that clan conflicts between pokémon can indeed run in the blood and how gijinka also witness these emotions of hostility. He himself even hold some form of hostility towards other meowth and persian gijinka (or rather, that could be a result of just strongly disliking anyone else similar to him for he is preciously special). It was even witnessed that a few gijinka with DNA from a bug type could harbor fear to a pidgeot – gijink or simply pokémon. Fear, it is every living being’s nature to survive. When trapped in a corner, people, pokémon, gijinka – they all hold a certain amount of fear. It is all strongly imprinted into the brain.

Indeed, yes… perhaps he should use one of the lab specimens and watch it interact with one of its natural prey. A pidgeot gijinka with a magikarp. Would the subject be able to resist the urge to consume it? Maybe if they let it not eat anything for a while…

Of course, maybe Lucas himself would have the urge to cut that magikarp up and eat it – felines are attracted to fish element prey like magikarp. Hm… perhaps he should really eat something before he would conduct that test.

The light-haired man closed his little notepad and placed it and the pen away in his lab pocket. Might as well go get something since he made himself think about food. Working on an empty stomach isn’t good for one’s help or concentration after all… He left the area quickly and quietly as his nimble feet can take him and left the little alleys in the middle class housing areas. Hm… quite a sheltered life however, what if those two met under conditions of growing up in the slums, otherwise known as the Jungle? The outcome could have been a lot worse. At the slums you can get away with almost anything…

Which is why Lucas finds it unusually both interesting and horrid at the same time.

Horrid because it is quite literally disgusting and filthy there. Interesting because of the difference on how residents forever trapped there live compared to the upper/middle class. Interesting because gjinka hold different morals when raised in different locations. Under a condition where there are always people looking for their blood, always starving, always fighting… Well, it’s kill or be killed, survival at it’s fittest, do whatever it takes to survive. These are tough, more rough around the edges. Then compare them to their counterparts living with a family that feeds them well at a much cleaner environment.

The difference is just startling when he reviews those notes.

“Just goes to show how much I would need to pay more attention to what I’m writing.” He smirked to himself, and proceeded to a chic café where he would order some… well, something at least. ‘Maybe a simple sandwich? Hm… a salad instead.’

Heya Cap. x3 Just got a few things here and we can get ya started and RPing here. I may have missed something, as I'm not quite with it atm, and I'll edit this if there is anything I noticed and missed if I get back to it before you reply, if not, I'll just catch it next post. If that makes sense. But I think we're good except for the following.

However, there is one main thing. The first successful Gijinka was created exactly 19 years ago, and I believe your history suggests that Luke was turned before that? If you could edit that, that would be great.
