Name: Soren Vale
Age: Sixteen
Date of Birth: February 14
Birthplace: Ecruteak City, Johto
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Demisexual
Face Claim: Nakigitsune / Touken Ranbu
Appearance:
Distinguishing Features: Soren wears half a fox mask with an opening around his mouth. His eyes are naturally gold but he wears cat-eye contacts just to freak people out.
Height: 5'8"
Character Type: Student
Personality:
Soren likes to call himself a 'gutsy intellect' or Icarus reborn, simply thanks to his hunger for knowledge but his uncanny nature to get himself stuck in the most dangerous and idiotic of situations. Eccentric and stubborn, he's not one to give up even when it seems like no other person can understand him. A quick-thinker, too quick for his mouth most times; often rumbling off a bunch of nonsensical syllables without taking a single breath. That's what happens when he gets excited. He can just rattle on and on without so much of a single break.
He's a perfectionist, valuing order and yet adoring the chaos that hides in and out of everything. A neat-freak and one with a mind like a puzzle solver, he can't ever leave a mystery unsolved. One reason for his love of the unexplained. He often tries to share his findings, always finding something new or amusing within the numerous circles that exist all over the planet. As such he seems remarkably brave or perhaps he's just a fearless fool.
But he does not quite fit in with normal socialization rules, being neither friendly nor cruel; he holds that delicate balance of both only meshed together with a modicum of respect he feels toward the unknown. It doesn't fade quickly either, until he finds his subject either too foolish to reason with or they have nothing else to offer. Either way many will probably view him as very odd even if he does hold a relatively happy-go-lucky and friendly attitude.
Normally Soren can keep calm in all sorts of situations, his excitement merely being the only thing to shine through. Patient, its hard for him to get angry at anything as he knows there is nothing perfect. But even he has his limits. Enough backtalk and rudeness will result in an equal amount of hostility. In a way he mirrors what he sees.

History:
Soren was the first child of of a kimono girl and a fossil researcher, the details of his parents' meeting something of a story they would never share, or rather couldn't. Their faces would always go bright red and the lovey-dovey hearts would ooze from them whenever little five-year-old Soren asked them. He grew up in the city with his mother while his father traveled, gaining a little sister when his father came back when he was six years of age.
He grew up a happy child, a mischievous and full of adventure boy who doted on his baby sister. He'd read to her, take her out on little quests the moment she could walk all by herself. Of course they didn't go far, always under the careful eye of their mother but they still managed to get into all sorts of trouble. At least Soren did. Their mother would often take them with her to the theater were she worked, his little sister played with the pokemon who danced the stage while Soren would mimic their practices.
On his tenth birthday was when he was given his signature mask by his father who'd come back from his travels. It was more monstrous back then but his mother fixed it up nicely, though he'd grow into it more later. That was also when he had accepted his father's proposal for him to tag along on his expeditions. Of course being the curious bundle that he was he agreed happily, his little sister on the other hand wasn't so happy at the idea. So unhappy she was that she had actually emptied out her brother's suitcase and hid inside it, the two not finding out until they heard a 'thunk' in the back of their truck. Lets just say, his father was more terrified of the call his wife made than worried about the bumps his child suffered.
But Soren traveled the world with his father, his sister tagging along after a very... VERY long conversation. It was during these travels did his mother send him a little 'surprise' gift, a friend of her's delivered Soren his first ever pokemon. An Absol who would be his closest companion and assistant outside his family. But being more of an explorer rather than a trainer, he did not aim to capture any pokemon. In fact he usually ran away or fought them off when he couldn't settle things peacefully. It was his younger sister who'd actually caught him a second companion, her fire type gift easily taking down the Honedge who was then gifted to him shortly after his fourteenth birthday.
He would have continued his travels with his family, absorbing the knowledge and experience that came with the expeditions. But his father convinced him to try and strike out on his own, experience his own adventures without the rules of the party to hold him back. Those were just pretty words though, his father later revealing to him that his mother had actually enrolled him at an academy. The Gray Haven Academy. Why? Apparently that was her original goal in the first place, his travels merely pushed off the dates until then.
And so he moved to the academy, his sister and father bidding him farewell with wishes of good luck. His mother sent her regards over the phone, going off about how he'll be the 'most perfect young man'. As for whether that would actually happen or not was an entirely different situation in general, only time would tell.
Dorm: Mana Dorm
Uniform Color: Black
Starter Pokemon:
Name: Shoka
Species: Absol
Gender: Female
Ability: Super Luck
Held Item: N/A
Moves: Detect | Night Slash | Perish Song | Psycho Cut
Personality: Disciplined and serious, Shoka would be the perfect secretary. She doesn't seem to ever get excited, though worry and something like sarcasm often shows. She does get extremely clingy and hostile when Soren is in danger or a dangerous place.
Name: Rory
Species: Honedge
Gender: ---
Ability: No Guard
Held Item: N/A
Moves: Aerial Ace | Shadow Sneak | Sacred Sword | Iron Defense
Personality: Rory is a... strange ghost sword. It's stoic, content to just stare and follow around people and pokemon like a stringless balloon. Strangely enough though it happens to greatly like shiny things, often wandering off if it spots one. It also likes to wrap its cloth around people at random...
