Eridan Ampora
>> Starter Pokémon:
Name: Nelson
Species: Shellder
Gender: Male
Level: 5
>> Hometown:
Dewford Town, Hoenn Region
>> Appearance:
Eridan is pretty tall, around 6’1”, but he’s also skinny and sort of limbs-all-over-the-place. His horns are all sticky-outy and awkward and his hair is wavy but slicked back into a perfect quiff, with a purple streak down the middle. He enjoys the finer things in life and so he’s usually dressed in royal purple and flaunting the latest styles. Plus he wears thick black glasses, to compensate for the fact that he actually can’t see anything except vague blurs of colour without them.
>> Biography:
Eridan comes from a small but wealthy colony of seadwelling trolls who abide in the watery caves just outside the centre of Dewford Town. He was raised by a seahorse lusus who didn’t have the luxury of a good pair of glasses like Eridan’s, and hence spent most of Eridan’s youth bumping into cave walls and screeching incoherently. Eridan didn’t really like it in the caves. Plus, the internet reception was pretty shitty. So one day, on a whim, he took his Shellder (the fine and upstanding Admiral Nelson) and a few suitcases worth of clothing and absconded to the Kanto region to become a Pokémon trainer. It was time for this geeky troll boy to become... a MAN!
>> Personality:
Some might say that the most prominent aspect of Eridan’s personality is his superiority complex, and they would be right. However, the side that he doesn’t generally project is, unsurprisingly, his inferiority complex. On the one hand, Eridan recognises that his blood colour makes him inherently superior to almost everybody else, and he does his best to lord it over the common folk. On the other hand, there’s this constant nagging voice in the back of his head telling him that he’s not good enough. It makes him feel a bit like a typical teenager but there’s nothing really he can do about it, except yell at people and project his near-royal aura in their faces. It’s a pretty sweet life.
Eridan does, however, have problems socialising. (It’s much easier when he’s roleplaying online!) He tries really hard, but he just can’t seem to get people to like him. Maybe it’s because he constantly points out their flaws? Maybe it’s because he insults their blood caste and/or species? Maybe it’s because he tends to try and bring every conversation back to how amazing he is? Maybe people are just dumb?
Yeah. That’s it. People are dumb.
Like, how could you not love this guy? Ok, ok, check this: in his spare time, Eridan enjoys researching military history. How cool is that? He’s got a heap of really old books back home, so while he’s on the road he tends to read on his computer. And his reading doesn’t stop there – Eridan’s well into fantasy fiction, even though it’s a load of complete and utter nonsense. Frankly, no-one in their right mind should ever believe that magic exists and if they do then they’re really not worth Eridan’s time at all. No, this young man’s heart lies with the sciences. Empiricism is where it’s at! Especially environmental science, that stuff’s ace. Eridan is all about saving the environment. Free the whales. Et cetera.
Also he likes romance a lot and also thinks that the world would be better off without all those landdwellers up and polluting its business, but we don’t talk about these because his romantic nature makes him come off as a bit of a dweeb, and the anti-landdweller thing is painfully close to a genocide complex which tends to scare people off.
Eridan Ampora: a psychiatrist’s wet dream.
Oh and also he really likes purple.

>> Goal:
Eridan really just wants his life to be interesting, and to meet people, and maybe become like a famous military general and scientist and stuff but no biggie.
If you ask him, he’ll tell you he’s going to become a champion Pokémon trainer.
And then use the Pokemon he’s trained to achieve complete world domination.
