• Character: Dave Strider • Profession: Trainer • Starter Pokémon: Murkrow • Hometown: Jubilife City • Brief description of personality: Dave puts up the cool kid act constantly. He will be blunt and avoid questions about his personal life and problems. He'll talk you into circles until he starts to snark in long drawn out metaphors. He'll keep going on and on with barely any consideration of what the other person in the conversation is saying, so he won't stop until he blows all his steam or you make him. He feels like he needs to live up to a standard of being better than basically everyone else. Despite how detached and uncaring he tries to seem, Dave will get over-emotional if bothered enough by something, and definitely won't stand for his friends getting picked on or hurt. Dave isn't too bad with DJ-ing and ain't that bad at rapping either. He has a soft spot for bird Pokemon and a fixation with fire types.
