Welcome to Gaia! ::

Faraday is a reserved individual and while he has no problems interacting with others, especially if he’s entertaining with his magic tricks, he prefers being alone or in the company of his pokemon. It gives him the peace to think, create and test new trick ideas or methods to accomplish his work. To some his methods can appear a bit outlandish, but he prefers to call it ‘imaginative’. He has no problem going outside the box and very rarely cares if others approve or not; so long as no one is in danger from it, he’s going to do it. He’s a bit of a daredevil as well, much to the annoyance of those who know him.

When he does interact with others, he’s generally friendly and easy-going. He has a good sense of humor, though there are certain topics that he won’t accept jokes about. He tries to take the same mannerisms as well when it comes to work, though depending on the importance of the situation, will lose patience quickly.

Rudy Faraday was originally born in Nimbasa City, the youngest of three children to Valentina and Niel Faraday. His mother, at the time, was a dedicated police officer while his father was an assistant in a research lab focused on developing pokeballs for pokemon.

His upbringing was good and he was well taken care of in his family, though he didn’t quite have the benefits of that whole “spoiled youngest child” situation. He developed an interest in magic after witnessing a particular performance at Nimbasa’s Musical Theater when he was ten. He became enthralled with the art and took up learning the techniques and secrets behind them, spending most of his time studying and practicing to someday became a famous stage magician in his own right.

When he was sixteen, his mother began to encourage him to follow in her and his sister’s tracks and join law enforcement, setting the stage magic to the side as a hobby if anything else. It took a bit of convincing, but eventually he decided to give it a go. He enrolled in the academy when he was of age and joined the force once he graduated. He spent quite a few years in the police force, though a rough patch momentarily disrupted his career. Once that was cleared up, he decided he’d prefer to go the detective route, moving to Lumiose City to work. It was here that Faraday first came into contact with Looker and Interpol and after some thinking decided to join up with them to help weed out the criminal activities plaguing the regions. In the process, he’s been working on his stage magic with the intent of one day going international.

“M.D.” is the former undercover Interpol detective Rudy. W. Faraday. While working his own undercover stunt, several other undercover officers proceeded to disappear during their own assigned missions, much to the chagrin of the agency.

Faraday found himself operation in an area where an agent had recently disappeared. Against the advisement of his superiors, he chose to investigate the situation for clues into what had caused the agent’s disappearance. As he investigated, he found himself in a confrontation with a ghost from his past. The situation led to him being knocked off Interpol’s radar for a time, unable to communicate back his findings.

By the time he reconnected, things had gone south in his favor. Faraday returned to discover he was a wanted man on the grounds of desertion and sabotage that resulted in the other undercover agents being compromised. With such hefty charges occurring in such a short time frame and his recent confrontation, it was fairly evident to Faraday that he’d been the victim of a set up. It became increasingly clear that turning himself in was not an option and so on a bit of a desperate decision he opted to do the one thing he could; fall off the radar completely.

Of course there's no rest for the wicked and he's got the truth to find. . .
