<div class="floatright">   (http://www.mooncostumes.com/image/17035)</div><strong>Name</strong>: Gary “Buddy" Orrell<br/><strong>Gender</strong>: Male<br/><strong>Age</strong>: 22<br/><strong>Height</strong>: 5‘7“<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Gary had a good life. He had one of those childhoods everyone else wishes they had, even in a world that’s been taken over by the unknown wilds, and wanted for nothing. He wasn’t rich, by any means what-so-ever, but his parents were well off and his eventual education showed this. If Gary wanted it, which was a very rare thing for Gary to do (want something), his parents made a point to get it. Being an only child helped with this, though it probably made things worse for Gary in the long run.<br/><br/>There is one thing Gary always wanted and still does; Gary wants a friend. Gary has, all his life, tried to have himself a friend; and not just one of those people you call a friend but is really only someone you happen to talk with every day at school or work. Gary wants (and always wanted) a best friend, someone who he could share all those moments with and hold until death. A little odd but Gary’s way in things tends to drive others away.<br/><br/>During school days, up to and including his upper education, Gary focused on plants when people didn’t suffice. Plants made good temporary friends, and they were easy to read. Being so in tuned with plants (and lacking any solid friendships) Gary breezed through school and the one thing Gary was really looking forward to was getting his first real friend (whether they liked it or not) in his first familiar. Unfortunately for dear Gary, this was not the case... at least not with Maoh.<br/><br/>Trainer and Pokemon, for lack of better terms, came together as most do and are only recently starting their trek together. Gary intends to explore the great wild and use his knowledge of local fauna to try and educate those who were not as well off as himself as well as, if luck should work on his side, find the right kind of discovery. Gary has some high hopes for furthering the already rather far way of life... but he wishes to balance the scale when it comes to social classes and has thoughts on using renewable plants to replace some everyday things.<br/><br/>Gary’s nickname is a bit of a misnomer he gave to himself.<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Gary is your buddy, or at least he tries to be. Openly friendly, always trying to laugh and be happy no matter what’s going on and quick to try and add in his perspective to things even where they probably are not wanted if only to make sure people don’t forget he is there. Inside, Gary’s a bit depressed and sad but he does his best to put on that happy face he thinks everyone else just loves.<br/><br/><strong>Weapons</strong>: While Gary has a small pocket knife and some other odds-and-ends to do his work (specimen jars mostly),, all of which are kept snug in a made-to-wear outdoor bag, he doesn’t have any weapons and is mostly counting on his “friend” Maoh to do real dangerous stuff for him.<br/><br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Familiar</span></strong><br/><br/><strong>Maoh (<em>Sharpedo ♂</em>) (http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr183/DudelRok/etc/Sharpedopersonification.jpg)</strong>: Honor, duty and loyalty are what explain Maoh. Though they are supposed to be characteristics all familiars have, Maoh takes this to a degree all those within the system wish others would. Maoh knows he is nothing more than a servant to his master, and while he’s got a bit of a spark to him when it comes to his temper, Maoh knows his place. Maoh is, certainly, not Gary’s friend... but he does as Gary wishes and stays at the man’s side no matter what, as this is expected of any and all Pokemon. To anyone not Gary, though, they should probably watch both their words and their limbs.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Future Possibilities</span><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Nidoking♂ (http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr183/DudelRok/etc/nidoking.jpg)</li><li>Butterfree♀ (http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr183/DudelRok/etc/butterfree.jpg)</li><li>Primape♂ (http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr183/DudelRok/etc/primeape.jpg)</li><li>Aggron♂ (http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs13/f/2007/057/d/a/Aggron_Knight_by_tazsaints.jpg)</li><li>Shiftry♂ (http://th02.deviantart.net/fs50/PRE/i/2009/319/8/2/Gijinka___Shiftry_by_Sky_Gear.jpg)</li></ul>
