NAME: Bless
NICKNAME: "King" or "Your Highness"
AGE: 21
BIRTHDAY: December 25
GENDER: Male
NATURE: Jolly
POKEMON / HUMAN: Togekiss
HOMETOWN: Driftveil City
HISTORY: Bless was born in Johto, just outside of Goldenrod on a 'Togepi Farm.' He was the biggest among his litter, which wasn't saying much since they were 'bred' from two 'teacup' Togekiss, producing all very small offspring. Still, knowing he had a good inch on his brothers and sisters he took it upon himself as a young Togepi to order them around and basically force them to do whatever he wanted. His 'throne' was 'usurped' rather quickly, however, and he was thrust from his parents' loving wings into the great wide world. Fortunately, all of his fattening up had allowed him to evolve quickly into a Togetic so he felt prepared to show the world exactly what he was made of.
As it turned out, a bunch of people and Pokemon bigger than him didn't take orders quite as readily as a group of runt Togepi. His exploration around Johto proved fruitless so he hopped a trade-wind over to Sinnoh and set up shop there. Floaroma Town proved a good stomping ground, full of delicious berries and a bunch of girls who inexplicably thought he was cute (not even remotely charming, just cute!). Still, even with a new-found crown (King's Rock) on his head and a horde of adorable minions he wasn't satisfied. Life as a Down-to-Earth Togetic wasn't for him.
What was for him, however, was a one-way trip to Unova. There he hoped to learn the secrets of truly graceful and awe inspiring flight like he had seen Togekiss doing in his home town, something a Togetic could never accomplish. In Driftveil he found this in the form of a flock of Pokemon willing to teach him just that. And their love of shiny things earned him a quick spot as their leader, must to his enjoyment!
Life quickly lost its luster there as well. As a newly evolved Togekiss (thanks to shiny presents from his flock) Togekiss flew off this time, bidding them a fond adieu and pointing himself towards the horizon. Maybe the next stop would be his last..?
HOBBY: Watching the clouds
JOB: King (aka Slacker)

CATCHPHRASE: M'lord

First, how dare you even insinuate I could have blatantly copied *BehindtG 's style at all? How dare you!? It's called 'homage' people... I swear... This is an homage, ok? An homage to this: [link]

Second, OMG I love this group. I absolutely must join! I worked all day on this and am very proud of it, though the utter lack of clothing and general creepiness of this particular Togekiss's 'fingers' and legs is... pretty creepy. I'll be submitting a sketch dump of more Bless poses to show that this is really the fault of perspective for the most part and to show exactly /why/ I cannot put a shirt or pants on this poor guy. So have a nice scarf instead and try to avert your eyes from his general nakedness.
