[PXFIRE] [SU/DS] PXFIRE Roleplay - A Game of Storms

[Soups]

Reporting for duty!

Name: Jax
Species: Marowak
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Team: Gracidea Order

Description: Jax doesn't appear to be much different from many other Marowak across Xia, save for a few scars on his left arm and right hip. He's also got some muscle on him, which when you consider his size, is rather impressive. He's a tad darker than most Marowak and his eyes are as well. Jax's skull that he wears, which is no longer worn by choice (Marowak can't take off their skulls after evolution from Cubone), has two painted, black stripes on each side. His bone that he so confidently carries with him is also painted with two strategically placed black stripes. Jax prefers to move without many articles of clothing. He does, however, wear a jet-black handkerchief around his neck.

Personality: Jax is rather quiet and distant than most other Pokemon. He's the furthest from shy, but prefers to listen rather than speak. However, when he does opt to speak, he's often the most intelligent voice in the room. Others listen. Jax's demeanor is one of unspoken dominance. He's a leader of sorts and a damned good one. While he moves best on his own, his ability to connect with others on a personal level and bring out the best in them is second to none. He's one-of-a-kind and he knows it.

Many mistake Jax as some cold, angry Marowak... when in fact, he's the exact opposite. He's a kind soul. He's loving. He's genuine. However, he's about business when it's time to be about business. He's as understanding as he is analytical, and while he can be insanely friendly, he can be equally dangerous. Growing up, Jax always put himself first, but as he grew older and experienced certain things, he quickly learned to put others first.

All in all, Jax is an all-around Marowak. On a great day, he's great. He's not against casual conversation or spending time with those that he's close to. On a bad day, well... he's not to be bothered with. While he may appear to be small in size, he's got a huge heart and there aren't many, if there are any at all, like him.

Background: Jax grew up never knowing his parents. As years passed, he often wondered who they were, what they were like, and what ultimately happened. He would hear rumors from time to time, but nothing ever proved to be fact. He eventually concluded that they either weren't ready for parenthood and found it much simpler to abandon him or they had their lives cut short by the Black Lotus... and he had more belief in the latter. Because of this believe, his disdain for the Black Lotus grew as he grew older. It didn't help that he was witness to their many wrongdoings. That only fueled his hate and ultimately created a fire in him that would be impossible to douse.

Because Jax's parents weren't around, he was raised by a pack of fierce Absol in the Elden Plains. They took him in and cared for him as if he were one of their own. They taught him how to hunt, how to fight, how to treat others, and ultimately, how to love oneself. One particular Absol, Syza, befriended Jax and helped him realized that although he had never had the luxury of knowing his parents, it was still possible to be loved and cared for. For that wisdom, Jax was forever thankful to Syza and the pack of Absol.

When Jax was 21, the Black Lotus attempted to attack a rather large area of the Elden Plains that Jax, Syza, and the pack of Absol resided in. Being the warriors that they were, they were somewhat successful in warding of a small portion of the Black Lotus. However, the Black Lotus was ultimately successful and claimed the Elden Plains, ultimately wiping out more than half of the Absol pack. Jax, by Arceus' grace, was able to escape. However, it wasn't without the help and sacrifice of Syza. The remaining Absol were enslaved, some beat, others tortured. Jax, having no choice but to run as far away as he can, did so...

He eventually ended up in Jadeblossom and joined the Gracidea Order. He recognized the threat that they were toward the Black Lotus and knew that they held his opportunity to seek revenge on the Black Lotus, not only because of Syza's death, but also because he firmly believed that they were responsible for his parents' death. Even if they weren't responsible, he wanted answers and felt like they would have them. As some time passed, he came to realize and fully accept the Gracidea Order's goal: purification. Jax had known how horrific areas outside of the Gracidea Order's territory had looked. He hated it. He wanted the improvement of lives of Pokemon everywhere and would stop at nothing to see that come to fruition.

With the arrival of the Tempest Festival and the promise of the Master Blaze Jewel, Jax understand that his opportunity to destroy the Black Lotus is upon him. He, along with the Gracidea Order, are ready to not only rid of the Black Lotus, but ultimately re-establish what once was: a natural, beautiful world for Pokemon everywhere.
