Biography: Michael Verilus, aka Highroller, is 29 years old. Abandoned at birth, Michael was raised in an orphanage. The "Verilus" surname was added by Highroller himself, as he does not know his true family. This orphanage was built near a Zen Buddhist monastery, which Highroller joined at the age of five. There, Highroller was taught both the teachings of Buddhism, as well as a strict regimen of martial arts exercises developed by the monks in Saffron. The combination of spiritual and physical rituals was meant to promote a harmony between the mind, body, and spirit, allowing the body to perform incredible feats of physical and psychic strength.
Verilus proved himself to be very gifted. Though not born a psychic, he developed expanded mental powers through training around the age of seventeen, and was encouraged to study with a prominent master. However, though Highroller was a capable artist, the master saw that Highroller's soul was not pure. Instead of using his skills to promote inner enlightenment and harmony with the world, Highroller instead perceived his abilities as something which positioned him above others, using his own power to exert his will upon those weaker than him. Knowing that Highroller was straying from his spiritual path, the master halted Highroller's teachings, telling him that his mind had become too entrenched in the material world.
Outraged, Highroller, now 20, fled the monastery. Changing his name to Highroller and considering Michael Verilus a former life, he traveled the world seeking to enhance his power. He has recently resurfaced in Celestia City after nine years.
During this time, Highroller captured Beldum, doing so without the assistance of another Pokemon. Beldum was so frightened and overwhelmed by Highroller's assault that he accepted Highroller as his trainer. What is perhaps ironic about this capture is that Highroller had chosen this particular Beldum, who was among the weakest of his social group, to capture, despite Highroller's usual philosophy of Darwinism: the strong survive, the weak do not. It could be that Highroller saw a piece of himself in Beldum, a person who was denied belief in his abilities.
Highroller offered Beldum a choice: join him, and Beldum would become more powerful than it ever imagined. Beldum accepted. So far, Highroller has made good on his word, as Beldum's strength has improved dramatically as a result of Highroller's training. Highroller's goal is to strengthen Beldum, that he may evolve into Metagross. During this process, Highroller will strengthen the psychic bond between himself and Beldum, that they may be able to function as one thinking entity. With the mental power of a Metagross, among the most intelligent Pokemon in existence, backing him, Highroller will have the mental powers he was denied so long ago.
Name: Lee Plissken Age: 23 Gender: male Height/Weight: 1.87 m, 72 kg Appearance: long dark-blonde hair, normally tied in the neck; amber eyes; always wearing a self-confident, almost annoying smile, when he knows someone else is around; also it's hard to get a good shave, when you are on the road 24/7 Usual Outfit: worn dark blue jeans jacket and treasures, a black T-Shirt with something along the lines of 'I wear black until I find something darker.'; a badge with a yellow smiley somewhere on the jacket or the belt of his guitar which he usally carries on his back; a silver necklace around his neck, wearing dark glasses all day Reason for becoming a trainer: Travelling around the world only acompanied by his guitar, Lee loves to see new places and meet new people, and finally arrived in Celestia City, where he helps an old man carrying some boxes to his house at the edge of town. Arriving there he finds the man has adopted dozens of Pokémon, that were abandoned by their trainers and lives in harmony with them and his wife. Only one Pokémon was to aggressive and always attacked the others, that's why the man bought boxes full of potions and antidote. The man wasn't able to abandon the Pokémon again. Out of sympathy Lee offered to take care of the problem child and the man gladly accepted. Lee decides to focus the rage of his new Pokémon in battle. And hey! Maybe being a trainer will be fun as well.
Requested Pokémon: Ekans would be nice.
Approved, given an Ekans with Wrap.
