When will the government stop my sinful hand

Name: Finley Averill Haynesworth, introduces self as Averill
Age: 24
Gender: Genderfluid ((They/them pronouns preferred but fine w he or she))
Pokémon: Lucario
Birthday: September 26th
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 160 lb
Nature: Relaxed
Summary Characteristic: Somewhat of a Clown
Ability: Justified (Hidden Ability)
Hometown: Virbank City

Personality: You'd think someone with as many issues as Averill would be a little more aggressive in how they react to others. But overall, they're a pretty nice person. They're very sociable, they have a bit loud mouth that can get them in trouble and an impulse control to match, but for the most part it stays at harmless fun and not anything bad. They genuinely like people and likes getting a grin out of them whenever possible.

However, those issues mentioned before do affect Averill. A lot. Not quite to the extent they used to, but the damage done is obvious at moments. They're well aware of their self-destructive tendencies and will often blow off any concerns with a joke or sheer sarcasm. Also, don't assume how laid back they are to be any indication that they won't stand their ground, because there's many topics they absolutely will never budge on. The Lucario is also much more emotional than they'd like to let on and it's easy to offend them with the right words. They'll try their best to hide how they're feeling under sass or jokes or alcoholic stupidity, but even they can only take so much.

History:
   Finley Averill Haynesworth was born illegitimately in Virbank City to a young couple who. Well. In all honesty, didn't want a kid at all. Almost understandably too. They didn't get much money from their jobs and they didn't have the maturity themselves to raise a child. Often times, Averill was left with their aunt, Adele Haynesworth, who was much more willing to provide for them. She still wasn't in much better of a financial situation to provide for the Riolu full time.

The main problem when Averill was at home though, was that their parents drank. Quite a lot. Which of course made them even less capable of handling a child. And once the neighbors caught wind of it by all the drunken fights they heard, well you can't just leave a kid in an environment like that right? Soon enough, Child Protective Services got involved to put Averill in a better home. Adele tried to get custody of them, but she was deemed unable to support them as well and thus they was sent into foster care.

At first Averill was understandably scared. Being suddenly taken away from the family you know into a completely arbitrary one obviously would be scary for any 11 year old. However, the first family they had was... nice? Something they weren't expecting at all, but the mother and father they got were much more sympathetic than they had imagined. After a good few months however, they had to be moved onto another family. They were of course worried, but they were lucky enough to get a family that once again, was surprisingly hospitable to them. Admittedly, this wasn't what Averill expected at all when getting thrown into the system, but not like they were complaining. And the young jackal was still able to stay in touch with their aunt so it wasn't like they were totally isolated from their biological family. Unfortunately, the good luck they had wouldn't be able to last forever..

Once Averill started to reach their teen years, they progressively started getting sent to more. Dysfunctional houses. Nicer families were always reserved for the younger kids, and Averill wasn't quite a younger kid anymore. And well, the families they started getting sent to were hardly any better than what they were in. In some cases, they were even worse. Sure, there were still decent houses, but the time in bad houses became much less few and far between. Some were more neglectful, one was more verbally abusive, one, physically, another. Well. Um. You get the point. No matter, all of it started to wear down the jackal.

By the time they were 15, Averill find had it. They needed some way to get an escape from all of these problems in their life and well. They found it in drugs and alcohol. It wasn't good of course and they knew but it wasn't like they cared what was good for them or not at this point. They just wanted to feel better and this was the way. They could sneak away from their family at the time easy and just slip out to parties or to just hang out. Hey, the friends they made while they were there seemed to care more than their foster family anyway, so at the very least they stuck around for them. Even when Averill had to move away and gone to be with slightly better families, the habits they picked up had clung on for the long term as they continued to abuse substances because well it did feel really good. Why would they want to give that up? Finally, at 17 Adele was finally able to convince CPS that she would be able to care for Averill and take them into her custody but well. The damage was done.

Staying with their aunt was still therapeutic for the jackal, however, and as they started opening up to others again they began to form a circle of friends. Although they all indulged in the same bad habits, they all did truly care about the others' well beings. Every now and again, a new person would join in the group, but how long they would stay was always up in the air. But one new member, a stunky named Bri, had seemed to have stuck to the group. Not that anyone minded, she was really nice to have around. She and Averill became especially good friends (with benefits but I digress). But after a while, her folks had threatened to kick her out if she didn't go to college, and not wanting to get kicked out but not wanting to go somewhere alone, she asked Averill to come with her. They were never quite intrigued with the thought of college. But they didn't want to leave Bri hanging, so they agreed to apply with her, wherever that may be.
