Personality: Cecil is very knightly. He talks formally and politely, displaying a very old fashioned, chivalrous behaviour. He lives by a strict Code of Conduct, one he has been taught to follow his entire life, and he values his honour highly. Cecil is very prideful, and will defend his honour with his life. Though he is a very kind and caring individual, he had been brought up with the belief that he is special; and this shows through his words.
Bio: Amongst Cecil's Clan, it is believed that the colour a Smeargle is born with -and this does not seem to be hereditary- determines the kind of moves that Smeargle is capable of mastering. The basis was that with red paint, you can draw fire effectively, but not water, for example. Two colours stand above the others: Black and White. Whites generally struggle to sketch and master any form of moves, but the few they manage to do are invisible to others. Blacks can master moves of all kind with ease. A Black Ink or White Ink comes about only once every generation on average.
The story of a hero -Cecil Aloysius- is passed down through the village for generations. He was a Smeargle that lived many hundred years ago, and he was one of the rare Black Inks. Legend tells of him travelling all across the land, helping those in need, vanquishing those who needed to be. His journeys brought him across deserts, through volcanoes, over oceans; he met and fought alongside Legendaries, against some, and carved his name into history. It was said that by the end of his life, this Hero had Sketched every move out there, and because of this found a way to disable any he met completely through Imprison Magic.
It is customary for any Black Inks in the Village to be trained in the ways of battle and survival, and sending them on a quest to make a name for themselves. They are to better the world, themselves, and bring glory and honour to the entire Clan. And if they are good enough, surviving this ordeal for long enough, maybe they can achieve what the Legendary hero did; Sketch every move.
Our Cecil, named after the hero, was born to a Blue Ink, who died soon after giving birth. He was raised by the Village Elders, his entire life built to prepare him for the journey he would one day set out on. The first thing he learned to sketch was Imprison, a move traditionally taught to all Black-Inks in honour of the hero. Cecil grew and trained, choosing the sword as his preferred combat style. The technique of mixing Iron Tail and Sword Dance in order to use one's tail as a sword is an ancient technique found only within this Clan of Smeargles, for most Smeargles are not as combat-oriented as them.
As Cecil grew, he was taught the strict rules of his life. As a Black Ink, there were rules, conditions to his quest:
1. He may not Sketch moves from other Smeargles of the Village, except those moves that had been given to him as part of his training.
2. He may only Sketch a move from an opponent in combat.
3. He may not sketch a new move until he has already mastered the last.
4. TMs are not permitted.are the most important ones pertaining to the quest of obtaining every move.
When he reached the Age of 20, Cecil left on his quest. He journeyed for two years, adding only a minimal number of new moves to his arsenal as he learned the ways of the harsh world. Eventually, the Smeargle decided that creating and maintaining a Rescue Team for a few years would help him expand his knowledge and experiences before he set out on his quest once more...
Appearance: A regular Smeargle. His ink is black, a rare colour amongst his village, and he likes to wear a bright red travelling cloak.
