Codename: Twenty-Two; as in "catch-22."
Name: Rin Fujimara
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Appearence: Rin's most defining features are his silver hair and onyx eyes. The former is styled to hang down just above his eyes, with a subtle mullet in the back (well, as subtle as said hair style can be...). He stands roughly six feet tall and has a lithe build, a product of his strict training regiment. No muscle on his body is overly bulbous, but when one slings a spear around day in and day out, a certain level of strength is acquired.
Indeed, Rin's chosen method of dealing with those who do not conform to the Leaque is a seven-foot-long polearm. The entire weapon is crafted from the extremely durable hide shed by Aron as they mature. In order to get a better grip on it, Rin has bound the metal with Mantine skin (humanely obtained; Rin can't bring himself to harm Pokemon) and covered the skin with cloth soaked in a mahogany dye. The business end of the spear is completely symmetrical, looking rather like a two edged short sword fixed to the top of the weapon. The spear is usually carried in an abundant roll of white cloth.
But enough on the somewhat macabre aspects of Rin's dress. He can always be found wearing a casual, silver shirt like one would wear to low key dinner parties. This shirt is tucked into a pair of royal blue slacks which terminate in a pair contrasting brown leather pennyloafers. Over it all, an ornate, heavy, royal blue trenchcoat is worn. Pockets are placed all over the garment; Rin has a profound dislike for the absence of pockets on his clothes.
Personality: Rin trusts no one except himself and his pokemon partners. This is the defining characteristic of his personality, and all other nuances of Rin spring from it. He always looks out for himself, and no matter if society has labeled it "good" or "evil," he will perfrom the action that gets him ahead of the pack. Joining the League (thus having all of the world except two countries as his playthings) is an example of such an action. Behind his unnerving, inscrutable gaze lies the heart of a murderer. Men, women, children; all are fair game to be run through the heart in the occasion that they do not follow the rules of the League. However, no human being is entirely two-dimensional. Rin harbors a certain melancholy within himself whose source he has yet to pinpoint. For years he has reasoned with himself, and found solace with pokemon. Thus, he will, under no circumstances, kill or irreparably main a pokemon. Once found, this can pose more than a problem for Rin.
Pokemon: Magneton -- Steelix (M) -- Metang @ Everstone -- Relicanth (M) -- Dusclops (M) -- Houndoom (M)
Bio: Keeping it short, Rin lived in the slums of Goldenrod, but the kid could fight. He earned a reputation as the local tough kid until he read a book on pokemon training. As suprising as it may seem, Rin was also fairly intelligent, and was an autodidactic reader. So, he began to fantasize about making it big in old League and pulling his faimly out of poverty. So, one day at the age of 13, he managed to get an abandoned egg from the daycare center south of his home. He hatched it in secret, then left on his journey. To put it in a nutshell, he was average, and failed to win a championship. He went to Hoenn (for the majority of his career), and then to Kanto searching for strength, and finally found his niche type in pokemon battles.
About this time, the upheaval took place in Kanto, and Rin jumped on board. In order to have everything he wished for at his disposal, he had to give up his purple shirt and get a hair cut. Not a bad trade, in his eyes. Thus, Rin now works as a killer for the League, and is perfectly fine with that. Hooray self-centered bas- fatherless sons...
