Description

Coordinating this character with ~Darkm00nShine's, so I may be tweaking/adding/removing things on here for a bit 'til we're both ready to submit. :la:

:iconpkmn-armonia::iconmarillplz:

Name: Bartholomew "Bucky" Benson
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Pokémon: Marill
Birthday: August 27th
Nature: Naive
Ability: Thick Fat
Hometown: Nacrene City

History:
    You know that guy who sits on the corner of the street, holding a cardboard sign that says 'Aliens are coming' or 'Beware of Bigfoot', who's always trying to warn you about "them" and what "they" want? Yeah, sorry, that's Bucky. Except he's probably not sitting on the corner of your street, and he's probably not holding a cardboard sign. In all likelihood, he's casually yammering away at the foot of your bed, and the sign he's clutching is, in fact, a drawing that looks suspiciously close to a scene from the latest issue of Gavantulaman.

    Bucky's creative imagination and enthusiasm for the paranormal can be attributed to the unusual clash of cultures he grew up with, as he bounced between homes in Unova's Nacrene City and the Great Marshes of Sinnoh.
    In the former, he lived with his mother, a well-to-do ex-hippie who did her best to raise him with an interest in the fine arts. Music and art were alright by his standards, but Bucky was unenthusiastic about them at best. His mother was often frustrated by this attitude, which she perceived as a lack of cooperation. Whenever this happened, she would send him to live with his father, who resided in the latter, and whose parenting methods essentially boiled down to, "Alright, son, now go play in the marsh and wrassle yerself a Feraligatr. I'll call y'in when soup's on."

    Bucky would usually spend this time visiting the neighbors - an odd collection of half-senile old coots, for the most part - and would listen to their vivid stories-of-questionable-accuracy and end-of-the-world proclamations with rapt attention and unwavering belief, for hours on end. Whenever it came time for him to return to his mother in Nacrene City, he would take the memory of these stories with him and incorporate them into whatever artsy task he was presented with. While his mother certainly appreciated his sudden muse, she didn't care much for the content it produced, nor the interest Bucky had thence taken up in conspiracy theories.
    It didn't help that Bucky would frequently share these irrational theories with their neighbor's son - a child already reputable for being, to put it mildly, "a little off-kilter." When the parents of the child in question mentioned that they were sending their boy away to a special school to hone his focuses, Bucky's mother took immediate interest. She saw the school as a possible means by which to drive Bucky away from his conspiracy shenanigans. Perhaps a formal education would teach him how utterly inane they were, and inspire him to adopt more sophisticated interests. :stare: Ones that wouldn't involve alien warfare or government spies, preferably.

Summary characteristic: Highly persistent.

Hobbies:
  • Despite his general lack of interest in musical studies, Bucky is fairly competent at the ukulele. He often travels with one and can be caught playing it on occasion.
  • Bucky is a massive comic book, video game, and movie junkie. He will read, play, or watch virtually anything.
  • On a similar note, he will also eat virtually anything. The dude's stomach is a black hole.
  • Bucky also doodles, though he's generally not aware of when he's doing it. It's more of a habit than a hobby, although he does keep a collection of all his doodles.

Moveset:
    :iconnormaltypeplz: Tail Whip
    :iconrocktypeplz: Rollout
    :iconwatertypeplz: Bubblebeam
    :iconflyingtypeplz: Bounce (Tutor)


Extra:
  • Bucky speaks with a heavy southern twang.
  • He is gullible as all get-out. Bucky will believe virtually anything he is told, provided it sounds at least somewhat plausible.
  • Bucky has a compulsive need to chew. If he can't find a wheat straw to chew on, he'll substitute it with the next closest thing he can find. He keeps a pack of toothpicks in his pocket for the specific purpose of having something to gnaw on in case of "aw-shucks-there-ain't-no-wheat-straws-'round-here" emergencies.
  • If he had a theme song of any sort, it would probably be this: [link]
