HOMETOWN
castelia city, unova

APPEARANCE

he's definitely not short. lafayette's grown to a fairly decent six feet over the years, making him the tallest amongst his siblings. he weighs a fine 150 pounds, which could be attributed to the fact that he still has baby fat here and there. his face is slightly chubby, skin a healthy and soft beige glow to it. his hair is a strange mix, really. the majority of it is a very pale golden yellow, cut cleanly while a distinct fringe has been grown. the back of his hair seems to be darker, dyed slightly darker brown in an attempt of being in style, as lafayette would call it. his fringe hangs over his right eye primarily, which is a gentle hazel colour, complimenting his hair colour rather nicely. he has a round button nose and perky lips to boot.

lafayette's rather well built, which isn't a suprise. his muscles aren't that well developed, but they're there anyway. he' doesn't have a body like that of a body builder, but he's definitely not fat. a little chubby, but in a healthy way anyway. beyond the baby fat, he's lean and isn't tanned, his skin tone the same as his soft beige face. distinct features on his body include two moles on his neck and piercings on his right ear, which he only adorns with earrings now and then.

his choice of clothing can be quite varied. he's most often seen in hoodies or practically anything with a hood or zips. beyond that, he's definitely just as good in form fitting cardigans round necked shirts. jeans torn at the knees are a common trousers of choice for lafayette, of varying shades of blue and black. during warmer days, he'll choose to wear bermudas and casual fitting shoes, but most of the time you won't see anything but his favourite pair of converse high tops, which are bright neon yellow in colour with purple laces. lafayette has a habit of wearing mismatched socks, and has not worn a matching pair since he was twelve.

PERSONALITY

lafayette was never the quiet boy. he was the eccentric one with lots on his mind, constantly bubbling with new muse. since birth, the boy has been surrounded by a constant state of optimism, whether it be a personal motivation or a facade to deflect the idea of the dreary household he had lived in. so no, he wouldn't consider himself annoying, but perhaps just a little too attached to a happy childhood he never quite had. he's a happy go lucky kind of boy, always looking on the bright side of life, and just rather cheery.

so maybe he has a terrible temper at times. then again, people don't piss him off, but when they do, he'll throw a shitstorm your way. his violent tendencies when mad can be a most dangerous thing, but it does reflect the amount of anger he had cooped up in his life that he's venting out now while he still has the chance. in that fleeting moment, his cheerful disposition disappears, and to say that lafayette becomes consumed with rage could be considered an understatement.

but beyond his ability to lose his sanity when he's pissed, lafayette has always been a happy child. he's infatuated with nature and has always been one to love the great outdoors. when he was young, he used to run out when he got the chance and climb and hug the great willow in his family's estate. given the fact he didn't get much opportunity to actually go out, he made the most of every chance he had. he's become quite the nature lover and tree hugger, possessing a love for all that is green.

other than the above, lafayette's terrified of needles after a blood test, hence the distinct lack of tattoos and more piercings (the two were dares from friends in school) he doesn't like extreme heat and cold, therefore he's not a fan of fire or ice type pokemon, especially if they spew fire or cold air. he's also a vegetarian - definitely does not appreciate meat one bit. he throws tantrums when people sneak bits of meat into his meals. to some extent, he's allergic to meat, having not eaten it for well, just about all his life.

HISTORY

lafayette lived on the outskirts of castelia city - away from the hustle and bustle, but very well segregated from the allure of the great outdoors. he came from a family of social status, one that highly regarded proper behaviour. and well, given lafayette's lack of interest in that department, suffice to say that he wasn't the most stellar of the thomas family. he didn't want to be at home reciting poetry or something silly like that, he wanted to run around and enjoy the great outdoors. this also, was something that lafayette was greatly deprived of. in fact, his house, more often than not, was a dreary place, lacking colour or any forms of joy.

so lafayette attended private school and was raised with a proper education, at a price. the boy was deprived of a childhood he could truly enjoy. he grew up an eccentric child who seemed to take towards quirky and colourful objects which quip his interest. private school had been a most interesting place for lafayette - beyond the normal schooling, the boys at windsor private were not entirely goody goody two shoes. rather, they were the ones who exposed lafayette to the idea of pop culture and his rebellious streak that was to develop over the years. he came back exposed to such liberal and fresh ideas that his family seemed to disapprove of when they heard about his exploits during his time away from home.

they did only what they knew - to try and contain him and to eradicate such foolish thoughts from the boy's brains. if anything, it dawned upon him that he simply could not stay in the area. he grew his hair as it has become, collecting and packing his clothes into a comfortable haversack, ready to leave at any moment. and his leave began there - as he tried to talk to a less than willing father and mother, they began to lecture, only resulting in his outburst. years from holding it in had finally resulted in the boy's breakdown. haversack in tow, he stormed out and with nowhere to go, lafayette chose nexivus for a change in scenery, unaware of what to come his way.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE
there was something unsettling about the telltale highway. pierce had already been suspicious from the name of the place alone, but even as he nervously took baby steps in the eerie tunnel, he felt as though he could hear every single thing. a single drop of the pin, a drop of water against the roads paved with bitumen. it felt terribly cold - was it just a draft? the soulless warm glow of the orange lights hanging overhead bounced off him, the silhouette of a boy with a trenchcoat wrapped around him visible from the distance. pierce was not particularly enjoying the journey - he was cold and frightened, and rather hungry as well. his pokemon were in their pokeballs, snugly stowed beneath his hat. the accessory was snug on his head, as it always was.

he had been in anrui for some time now, and more than often he had been almost nicked by plasma grunts. it had taught him a valuable lesson of keeping things out of sight - and no one actually even touched his hat, especially since he broke into semi panic attacks every time someone called to him. the screeching and the sounds of vehicles whizzing past terrified the boy - with every sudden brake he jumped, with a sudden flash of light he screamed, and he was so afraid of any danger coming his way. pierce had always been a timid kid, and this place was not helping his extreme phobias any much. he uncomfortably reached for his pockets and stuffed his hands in, his skinny little wrists twitching as he clenched his fists and exhaled a breath of air - it was cold enough to creature fog in the tunnel, he had realised.

pierce huffed, his cerulean eyes gazing upwards to meet the roaring traffic. he winced as a vehicle roared through the highway, casing him to cringe badly. how he would kill to have margaret out now to just hold in his arms. even the egg he was carrying was proving to be difficult to hold with him, but hopefully it would hatch soon. pierce mumbled to himself, adjusting his hat and shuffling his feet as he stayed close to the sides, trying to avoid getting killed by the speeding traffic. as he looked up, his gaze was caught by a male in the distance. oh god, oh god, he didn't expect to run into trainers here...! much less wild pokemon - pierce was completely vulnerable to any that attempted to attack. the boy began to break into what could be a self induced panic attack, hyperventilating as he backed away from the man with the outstretched hand, crouching down and trying to just catch his breath, for starters.
