Name: Vincent
Age (approximate in Pokemon's case, i.e. Child, Teen, Adult, etc...): Teen, around level 20
Gender: male
Pokemon: Growlithe

Starting Stage (Pokemon or human): Pokemon

Physical Description if Starting Human:
Some Physical Trait Suggestions for Human Side if Starting as a Pokemon: His hair would be the white mane/fluff and not orange like one would think. He also has black around his eyes that will stay when he's a human as it's a unique marking for a Growlithe. It would be cool if he took on a orange hue and got black stripes when he turns into an anthro.

Personality: Vincent is very much a child even though he's a teen. His mind will never grow up and he will remain a puppy forever. Due to this and his playful nature he is quite OCD. He is very friendly, playful, and loyal. He loves to chase other pokemon around trying to get them to play. He often scares them with his bark making them think he would hurt them but he would never harm a Caterpie. He is never down, always happy and bouncing around barking about either a ball or a bone. He is constantly active, unlike other Growlithe who will remain motionless until their trainer gives them a command, and will not sit still for nothing..... well almost nothing; he'll stay still for a Pokeblock or a ball.

History: Vincent was a wild pokemon living happily in a plain near Ecrutak City with his best friend Stanley the Stantler. He enjoyed chasing the other pokemon (mainly Stanley) and would sometimes wander into the city nearby. His favorite spot in the city was the Burned Tower due to the fact that it smelled so much like fire and the fact that there were pokemon there too. He didn't go in there often due to trainers constantly trying to battle him and capture him. He did wander into the city about every other day. He mainly went because there were nice people who would offer him a ball to play with. It was most likely due to his visits to the city that the scientists of the Cronus Project learned of him.
One day while playing further away from the city with a few other Growlithe and a couple Vulpix when they heard the Pidgey's flying above them in a rush. They were yelling about humans attacking the pokemon near the city (but not close enough for it's inhabitants to notice). Vincent's friend Stanley had stayed behind to find something to eat. He ran to where the scientists were only to pass his friend running away. He was relieved but he couldn't ignore what else was happening. So he rushed towards the humans barking, hoping to scare them off. He stopped when he noticed a nice shiny ball in one of their hands. The scientist noticed this and smiled. Luring Vincent with the pokeball, the scientist got Vincent to go into a crate without a fuss and left him with the pokeball to play with..... which resulted in Vincent being caught by the ball by accident. He wasn't released until they reached the island as soon as they got the pokemon inside. The new area didn't make him depressed like the others who were brought in with him, in fact it sparked great curiosity. He ran off down the hallway making quite a ruckus but the scientist who had lured him with the pokeball produced a new chew ball for him, immediately bringing him to a halt. The ball was also used to get him into the lab where they could begin the experiment on him.

Strengths: being happy, making others happy, loyal, his nose and remembering scents,

Weaknesses: very childish, scaring smaller pokemon, naive, balls, bones,

Future Plans for Character or Any Extra Info: Want Vincent to obey you? Just show him a ball. He'll do anything you ask if you do so.
I'm hoping to be able to have him make friends with the other pokemon and even some of the humans. He'll be great for toning down serious situations and I hope that even though he is loyal to the ball that he'll be able to side with the 'guests' who are against the Project.
This is what his Growlithe form looks like Vincent
I'm picturing him looking like a 10 year old in his human stage since he's so childlike, it's like dog years only backwards. XD

Info on Pokemon Breed: Growlithe (ガーディ, Gādi?, Gardie in original Japanese language versions) Growlithe's name is derived from the words "growl", because it growls at its enemies, and "lithe", which refers to its readily bent posture before it attacks.

It is harder to catch in Pokémon because it will sometimes flee the battle. Its name in the beta version was Flamie. This cute puppy Pokémon makes its home in active volcanoes, grassy plains, and scorched plains heated by geothermal energy. Growlithe is naturally loyal and protective of its trainer. If trained correctly, it will remain motionless until it is given an order, though if it is improperly trained or mistreated, it will bite without warning. In the wild Growlithe will bark fiercely at anything that dares to invade its territory. Despite its adorable, puppy-like appearance, Growlithe will fearlessly stand up to opponents bigger and stronger than it. Growlithe also has a superb sense of smell. Once it smells anything, this Pokémon won't forget the scent, no matter what. It can even use its own sense of smell to determine the emotions of other living things.
