Dane is a smooth-talking street kid that hides behind his mask of easy-going blytheness. To meet him casually, you'd find him to be the life of the party, and even if you knew him better, say, roomed with him, he seems that way. His wit is dry and sometimes acerbic, but almost always manages to startle a laugh out of whoever he's with.
Get to know him past the mask, and you'll find a guy that's lost his best friend, had to build his life from nothing, and will take no charity from anyone. If he sees no opportunity to repay a kindness, he won't forget it, but will find some way to repay his debt. In that, you could say that he has a strong code of honor. That doesn't mean, however, that he would defend someone beind bullied. He's been on the recieving end of bullies a fair few times, and it's made him stronger.
History:
I'm a glass child
I'm Hannah's regret
What do you want? Dane's a kid off the streets, a fighter that got the chance to be sponsored into a better life. So yeah, he's rough, and ready to fight, but that's to be exxpected. He wa born to a teenage mother and her boyfriend that wanted nothing to do with the baby. Put in an orphanage by the time he was weaned, it's kinda surprising that no one snapped him up before he was six. With the promising red hair and lovely eyes, he was a cute baby.
But nobody wanted him. He left the orphanage at the age of ten, without so much as a backwards glance. From there, he fell into bad company. Drugs and alchohol almost got him killed any number of times, as well as his knack for getting involved with gang turf wars. Think those red lines are just tattooes? Those tattooes follow the scar left behind when he irritated both gang leaders in a war. He never paid much attention to the Pokemon on the street until he saw a little Pidgey with a broken wing, struggling to escape the clutches of a Mightyena. Ordinarily, he would have shrugged, and kept walking. Everything dies, that's how life goes.
But watching that Pidgey struggle, trying so valiantly for another chance to see the sun, it did something to Dane. He snatched the little Pidgey out from the Mightyena's mouth, and took it to the Pokecenter he'd always passed and never given much thought to. Thanks to a Nurse Joy that took pity on the desperate teen, the Pidgey lived. Though it was never official, Dane and that Pidgey could always be seen near each other. Pidgey was grateful to Dane for saving its life and nursing it back to health, and Dane claimed that Pidgey was his inspiration to be compassionate, and fight for life.
The Pidgey was captured by a trainer who had never seen it with Dane. Consumed with fury, anguish, and loss, Dane covered his emotions with a smooth-talking, wise-cracking demeanor that hid his true feelings. Some point after that, he vowed to become a Pokemon trainer so that one day, he could battle the s.o.b. that took his Pidgey, and beat him brutally.
But none of the Professors he went to would let him start. He was too old, and had far too many scars to "be trusted with one of these precious Pokemon".
A wealthy, mysterious patron offered to sponsor him to go to a Pokemon Academy where he could get kitted out, and gain some experience. So, here he is.
Secret Word: code
You guys can think whatever the **** you like, but I don’t feel guilty. At all. I never have. Everything’s got something that it’s good at. Bees are good at making honey, wolves are good at hunting, and I’m good at hurting people. Why should the bees apologize to the dumb ****er they sting for getting too close to the nest? Why should the wolves apologize to the one thing that was slower than everything else that they were hunting? It’s all they know how to do, and hurting people is all that I know how to do.
