Name: Biff Hennings
Gender: Male
Age: 17 (April 22)
Species: Skuntank Morph
Appearance:
Looking upon Biff's features, it's very easy to tell exactly what sort of Morph he is. A long tail of purple and tan coloring fans out behind him. Compared to his height, which is about 5'9”, it is almost as tall as he is. Luckily, he does not stink usually, for like his Pokemon counterpart, the noxious spray which comes from his tail is only used in situations where he needs to defend himself. Luckily, for both him and anyone involved, nobody has tried to mug and/or kill him yet.
The other features which distinguish him as a Skuntank morph include small, pointed purple ears which emerge from his hair, which happens to be the same tan color that's visible in his tail. The tips of this hair are dyed to be the same purple as the rest of his tail and his ears. The hair itself is of average length, with parts of it falling into his eyes. It is of no special style. In fact, he often doesn't even really brush it. If anything needs brushing, it's that tail of his, so he spends a lot of time on that particular area when he does decide to groom himself. Another notable feature appears under his eyes. What really look like bags or dark shadows under his eyes are actually the markings that rim a normal Skuntank's eyes in the wild. These eyes are of a deep brown coloration. The only other parts of him that are animalistic in nature are his teeth and nails, which are small fangs and claws.
In stature, Biff is actually fairly chubby, weighing around 190 pounds. Part of this is muscle, and he looks as if he could put up a decent fight if necessary, but most of it is just fat.
His clothing is nothing terribly extravagant. He's a fan of vibrant colors, particularly green. One of his most common clothing choices is a forest green hoodie. At times, this hoodie will change to one that is another color he's fond of, usually orange, blue, or red. He often just wears lounge pants, though when it gets colder he will often switch to jeans. These tend to be neutral in coloring, and usually compliment the color of his hoodie/shirt. Of course, with different seasons, his clothing choice will change. He's switch to t-shirts if it gets too hot in the summer, and he'll wear extra clothing in the wintertime. Basically, he'll dress like any normal human being would, provided he has access to the propet clothing.
Personality:
Biff is not insane, or mad, or anything like that (though, he is eccentric at times). He is also not depressed or prone to incredibly violent fits of rage. He isn't terribly extreme in most senses, actually. However, this is not to be confused with being a boring individual. In fact, he usually attempts to make life for those around him interesting.
He's definitely a pretty big optimist, always attempting to find the good in situations. If something bad happens, he'll use jokes to attempt to lighten the mood. Not all appreciate it, but he still tries his best to keep things from getting too depressing. He knows that not everything is sunshine and rainbows; but he's willing to take the bad because he knows that something good will eventually happen.
Biff's humor is usually made up of puns or random statements. He's definitely not the greatest comedian in the world, but he's gotten quite a few chuckles out of his old friends with an accurately timed and fitting punchline. Not all appreciate his humor, but the few comedic gems that he has made make up for that fact.
He's also been known to be fairly childish in nature. He'll sometimes giggle at the most immature things, and he's not the best one to come to with a deep and serious problem. It isn't that he doesn't want to help you, he simply tends to mess up when trying to give honestly good advice. He also isn't the best person to tell secrets to. He talks a lot anyways, and something could be said by mistake during a conversation.
He has a few small quirks. He loves to eat, and his favorite food of all times is berries. He carries a small pouch filled with these delectable little fruits. He also has a slight fear of bird Pokemon. Though not disabling, he tends to stay away from them, and you can be sure that he won't have any birds on his team. Of all the types, he really likes Electric types, mainly because the Electric Pokemon he's met in the past all seemed fairly eccentric. He actually isn't fond of most Poison types, finding it a bit cruel to watch the effects of certain poisons on different Pokemon. There are exceptions to this, and he may eventually have a poison type on his team, though nothing is certain. There's really not too much else about him that's incredibly odd.
In short, despite not being the best to confide in, Biff really
tries to be a good guy. He tries to be funny and lighthearted about most topics which, though it doesn't work in some situations, tends to usually be a good decision. He's really just an average guy who happens to be part Skuntank.
History:
Biff was born in a small town, and his childhood was fairly normal. His parents were both teachers, and he went to the same school that they taught at. This school introduced children to Pokemon at a young age, and various occupations that involved working with Pokemon. This school gave Biff a love of Pokemon from the beginning, and he dreamt from early on about becoming a great trainer.
As he grew up, the school began giving students hands-on experience with different Pokemon. Many of the students in this school were Morphs, and they had the added bonus of being able to talk with the Pokemon. Biff loved listening to the different experiences all of the Pokemon had had, though most were similar, since they were all pets.
It changed when an actual trainer came to show the students his own Pokemon. Some of these Pokemon had been wild, and their tales of the wilds which they had once thrived in sent a thrill through Biff. These even acted differently than the raised pet Pokemon that he had usually seen. It was this event in particular that opened his eyes to the possibility of another career: that of a Pokemon researcher. He wanted to see how different Pokemon behaved in the wild, and how those that had been captured acted differently than they had before.
He began keeping a notebook, recording the actions and
words of different Pokemon that came to his school. His class went on a hike through the wilds one day. He recorded with curiosity the way most of the wild Pokemon avoided or just watched the people from afar. Once or twice they were attacked, and he witnessed Pokemon battles firsthand. It was an amazing experience overall, and it only reinforced his desires to become both a trainer and a researcher. His schooling continued without much trouble.
Eventually, he decided that it was time to leave home. He packed numerous notebooks and pencils, and he had a solid plan in his mind. He would record his own experiences as a trainer in the notebooks, as well as his own Pokemons' antics. He'd also record those that he encountered in the wild, and how some would change in time after being caught. With these bold plans in mind, he set off to begin his journey at the age of seventeen.
