Personals

Personality:
                Curious / Attentive / Independent / Trouble-prone / Opportunistic / Playful / Obsessive
                Nugget is (appropriately) very cat-like. She has that classic cat curiosity that may lead her into trouble; fortunately for her, she is rather skilled at escaping dangerous situations. Although she likes to remain neutral or entirely uninvolved between parties, she'll be happy to play both sides if there is a double gain. She always keeps herself on the lookout for moments of opportunity and is quick to seize them. She has keen senses, especially hearing, and is rarely caught off guard. She mostly keeps to herself, and generally she is happy with this, although she catches herself from time to time yearning for companionship. However, she is not one to quickly build relationships. Although she can be friendly, she does have a sort of defensive wall set up where she avoids allowing others to get too close. She never wants to experience such a painful loss, such as that of her mother, ever again. She becomes nostalgic when she remembers playing with other young cat pokemon in her youth.
                Nugget doesn't have much of a filter with her words or actions. She isn't entirely a walking power plant of crudeness, but she is genuine to who she is. She isn't all that concerned with what end of the rude-polite spectrum certain behaviors fall under; she'll spit out a loogie in public, even hack up a hairball, or give herself a good tongue cleaning if she feels the sudden need. She is great to come to for an honest opinion, although her words might be a bit too honest for some. If she acts fake, it's intentional -- she'll put on a facade of innocent kindness if it's part of a ruse or if she sees it as a way out of a sticky situation.
                This girl has some obsessive tendencies. If she takes a significant interest to something, it clouds her mind. A very obvious (and common) example of this behavior would be when a shiny object catches Nugget's eye; she is immediately overcome by the sensation to investigate the object. If she has deemed it stash-worthy but is unable to take it or if for some reason she is unable to inspect it at all, her mind will remain intensely and anxiously fixated on the item for a varying amount of time.
                Although she's open-minded on many subjects, she does have a bias towards disliking pokemon that participate in Contest Halls. She thinks of them as shallow and unauthentic, just as her father was from the few stories that her mother told her.
                She isn't above getting into childish spats.

Likes: Shiny objects, hunting (for prey and treasures!), trash-picking, elevated resting spots, cities, parkour, chewing long stems of grass, investigating new things, playing with string, torturing small bug pokemon.

Dislikes: Her whiskers touched, contestant pokemon, vegetables and leafy greens.

Fears: Loss.

Pre-Group History:
Nugget came into existence when her mother, a feral meowth known as Nails, had a fling with a well-bred furfrou that wanted a taste of the "wild side". Said furfrou was spooked by the thought of raising an egg and quickly ended his adventures to return to the life of a top competitor in pokemon contests. Nugget was raised alone by her mother and absorbed all of the streetwise skills that were passed down to her. When Nugget was just shy of puberty, she fell dangerously ill. Determined to steal high-quality medicine for Nugget, Nails attempted a nighttime heist at a medical facility. Sadly, her desperation clouded her judgment, and she was attacked and killed by two patrolling houndoom. Fortunately, the local stray and feral cat pokemon who had been on good terms with Nails tended to Nugget and nursed her back to health, even helping her with some resources as she grew.
Nugget still had to rely mostly on herself, as that was the way of strays; she was continuously involved in several scraps, whether over resources or getting caught stealing. During one especially dangerous situation, Nugget had been trying to steal a fearow's egg. That confrontation ended in a nicked ear, a chipped coin, and a still-hungry belly. She did have her successes in battles, occurring more often with age. Still, her preference to avoid physical confrontation thus encouraged her to focus on developing her stealth, evasiveness, and speed. Once she entered her adolescent years, she felt no qualms leaving her birth-city behind to live life as a drifter.
Despite how Nails's death came about, Nugget never stopped stealing. She is proud of her thievery skills and wishes to do her mother proud by building upon what she was taught. Such is how she came to own a pokemon dittech. She saw the shiny metallic device attached to a foraging rattata and killed two birds (well, just one rat) with one stone --  she gained a new shiny object for her collection and dinner. Initially, she didn't realize that what she held in her possession was a dittech. Her first transformation came about by accident, when she was planning to store the item away. After realizing what it was, she decided to keep it on her for when a pokehuman body would be useful. She typically assumes her pokehuman form to pickpocket and/or apply five finger discounts in shops, although once in a while she wanders around as a pokehuman out of the innocent curiosity of how it feels. She has yet to thoroughly explore this secondary form though and is still working out the kinks of clumsiness.

Group History: N/A.

Family:
                Nails / mother / meowth / deceased.
                Alexander / father / furfrou / status unknown.

Romantic Partner: None.

Other relationships: N/A.

 

Extras:
                - Nugget spends most of her time in meowth form. She is new to the dittech and has yet to get used to it.
                - Her dittech is located behind the coin on her forehead.
                - She will never replace the chipped coin she adorns; her mother gave it to her.
                - She has several "cache" locations throughout the region where she hoards little objects that she has collected throughout the years.
                - She has chosen not to evolve into a persian because she believes being a meowth yields greater stealth abilities. She is also concerned that she'll lose the coin that her mother gave her.

 

My Info!

Time Zone: EST - Eastern Standard Time (UTC-05) // same as New York.

Chat Availability: Pretty random, honestly. As random as my work schedule.

Roleplay Mediums: Notes only, please!

Role-Play Example:
                Nugget strolled quietly down the alleys of Lumiose as evening approached. Although the vast city had limitless sources of light to pierce the blanket of night, the majority of the alleys remained enveloped in shadow. The cat pokemon felt at home in her element. Her soft paws did not betray her presence as she leapt towards a dumpster, crept across its top, then pounced upon a fire escape. From her vantage point, she spied something that made her pupils dilate more than the darkness alone could manage -- a shiny thing! It glistened from the narrow window ledge that it was set on. Scampering to the edge of a rail on the fire escape, Nugget crouched in preparation, estimating the distance between point A to point B as her rear did a slight wiggle. Then, like a spring, she vaulted from her position and gracefully covered the 10 foot distance to the far ledge. Looking down at her prize, she recognized the object as a device that humans often used: a key. Why it was on a window's ledge, she didn't know or care; she was much more caught up in admiring the intricate curves and angles in its design. Scooping the metallic object up between her teeth, she retreated from the scene back the way she came. The key would make a fine new addition to her local hoard of shiny things.

 

Yeah, that's right. She's a klepto. And she loves it.
