PHYSICAL APPEARANCE:
- Eye Color: Golden brown
Height: 5'10"

Other Appearance Information: Cécile is a simple kind of guy, physically. He is of average height with the build of someone who has been bedridden for many years. His large eyes are a soft golden brown in color and hold a depth oddly chilling for someone of his age. He has a slim face that is framed by messy light brown hair that is fine and unable to be tamed. On his lips, you will always find a soft smile.
Cécile wears simple clothing that is comfortable to sit in and easy enough for him to get in and out of. His wardrobe mostly consists of large tee shirts or sweaters and jeans that are always a size too large. His shoes are old, and obviously handed down, for how can a paraplegic ware out his shoes? His wheelchair, however, is of the finest quality and is clearly designed for outdoor use. Well-gripped tires, a comfortable seat, attached storage and a collapsible rain shield, it is obvious that this contraption cost a pretty penny.
PERSONALITY:
- Likes:
[+] Solitude : Being alone is not a bad thing, at least not to Cécile. He enjoys the peace and quiet that come with being alone. That and the lack of questions.
[+] Food : One of Cécile's few hobbies is cooking. He loves finding fresh ingredients, trying new recipes, and the smiles of others when they eat his food. He particularly likes preparing food for Pokémon.
[+] Being Outdoors : Having spent most of his childhood inside and away from others, Cécile takes ever chance he can get to spend some time in the open air and sun shine.
[+] Friends : Cécile has very, very few of these, and when he finds someone that he trusts enough to give them such a title means very much to him.
[+] Helping Others : It's in his nature, Cécile loves being helpful in any way he can. He particularly loves it when others ask for his help, because it makes him feel less useless.
Dislikes:
[-] Being Touched: Due to his harsh past, Cécile hates being touched, especially by someone he doesn't know. When he allows you to touch him, you know that you have earned his trust.
[-] Bullies : Cécile knows that he is far less useful than an able-bodied trainer. He hates to be reminded of this fact and feels that no one should be treated that way. He will politely inform you of his feelings on this matter if you push it.
[-] Heights : Understandably.
[-] Discrimination : Cécile knows he isn't perfect, but he believes that everyone should be treated fairly and given a chance.
[-] Alcohol : Reminiscent of his father, Cécile is terrified of becoming him, and blames alcohol for his father's actions.
Strengths:
[+] Durability: Cécile is the strong but silent type. He is very used to dealing with stress and handles situations with poise.
[+] Herbs: Cécile learned a lot about herbs and basic apothecary from his foster parents. he wants to use this information to help other, and strengthen it in his travels.
[+] Self-reliant : He takes care of himself, simply refusing to be a burden on anyone if he can help it.
Weaknesses:
[-] Mistrustful : After all that he's been through, Cécile finds it difficult to trust others.
[-] Physical Activity : He is clearly not built for this.
[-] Emotional : He tends to bottle things up rather than work through them, shoving them down so that he may appear to be stable even when he's not. This often comes back to bite him.
General Traits:
[x] Shielded : He lets you know what he wants you to know, nothing more, nothing less. Partly because of his insecurities and partly because he doesn't want to bother you with his problems.
[x] Loner : Cécile prefers to deal with things himself. It takes a lot to let anyone help him.
[x] Polite : His manners are well placed and never forgotten. It is very rare for him to offer offence to someone.
[x] Stubborn : Cécile likes to ignore many of his inabilities, trying to be useful and less of a burden.
HISTORY:
[ b i r t h ] - Cécile was born twenty or so years ago to an empty home. He had a family and he had a house, but he could never call that place his home. His father was a violent drunkard and his mother was far too meek to put up any kind of resistance at all. It was into this unfortunate situation that Cécile, a poor, sickly child was thrust into.
[ c h i l d h o o d ] - Cécile himself had always been a sickly child, however despite his weakness, he never failed to step in and try to save his mother from his father's unpredictable beatings. When he was nine Cécile once again fell under his father's wrath to save his mother, only this time, the boy didn't walk out with just scrapes and bruises. In fact, he couldn't walk at all. In a fit of drunken rage, Cécile's father threw the small boy down the stairs, dislocating two of the vertebrae in his back. From then to this day, Cécile has been condemned to a wheelchair, and was told that he may never walk agian due to the severity of the injury.
[ e s c a p e ] - Although the signs weren't well hidden and the excuses pretty flimsy, no one seemed to step up and help this poor child, that is until he rolled into fourth grade class claiming that he hurt himself climbing a tree. His teacher, Miss Angé refused to believe such a lie and began her investigation. Slowly, she gathered evidence, and when Cécile found out that she knew, he became terrified. He denied it profusely, not wanting her to come to harm. But when Cécile's mother ran off one night, leaving her child to be the target of his father's abuse, she could stand no more. Child Services were called once enough information was gathered, and he was taken into Foster Care.
[ f o s t e r c a r e ] - Cécile bounced around from house to house, but it wasn't until he was fourteen that he found a true home. An older couple that ran the Herbal Remedies shop in Lavaridge Town in Hoenn. They took the boy to heart and from them, Cécile was able to earn the confidence he needed to attempt a Pokémon journey. As a parting gift, the gave him a custom made wheelchair made for outdoor travel. Cécile left home far later than most Pokémon trainers; starting his journey at the age of twenty one.
[ f r e e d o m ] - Determined to make a difference, Cécile decided to go where he felt his skills in traditional medicine could be used; The newly developing world of Zatao.
ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:
The quiet sound of wheels rolling over dirt and stone was a nostalgic and comforting sound, reminiscent of the journey he had taken all of those years ago. Cécile gave a sigh and a smile, leaning his head back against the head rest and closed his eyes, letting the sun roll over him as Angel gently pushed him out of Route 22. Over head, the Pidgey flew, in the brush around them Rattata and Caterpie thrived. Ah, such was the life of the Pokémon trainer!
He was off to Pallet Town, to visit his niece and wish her the best of luck on her own Pokémon Journey. Memories flew through his mind, just beneath the silver tinged mess of brown hair that his his dark eyes. Eltie as an infant, holding her for the first time, so tiny and frail. Baby Eltie bouncing around with April, Angel laughing. The accident that made his niece so similar to himself and the bond that had been formed from it. Another wistful sigh fell from his lips. It had been years since he had seen her, five at the very least. He wondered for a moment if she'd remember him at all.
'Do not be silly, Seeley. Of course she will,' His Gardevoir murmured in his mind, her voice leaving a comfortingly warm feeling flowing through him. He reached up and touched her hand gently, appreciating her wish to comfort him.
"Thank you, my dear. But let's not dwell on such things, eh? Quickly, I want to be there when she gets her first Pokémon." He said, his voice soft his smile pure.
And so Trainer and Pokémon made their way through the town of Viridian City and over the bumpy but well traversed path that is Route 1, discussing the best Pokémon Eltie should get.
