CHARACTER
Name: N (Natural Harmonia Gropius)
Canon: Pokemon Black/White Version
Timeline: Post-game
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A, I normally assume the characters never meet through ~shenanigans~.
Personality: He's a snuggly math geek who speaks to animals and loves ferris wheels.
Since N started out as a feral child, he has a strong attachment to Pokemon and a good grasp of their language. In fact, he generally is good with non-humanoid languages, and could probably adapt quickly to speak to real-life animals should he come in contact with them. One would expect him to have trouble with human languages because of this, but he's been trained very well and has a larger vocabulary than most people in his canon. He is also rather obsessed with equations, formulas, balance, etc.
N has a good chance of being autistic. He can find patterns easily, has heightened intelligence and adaptability, and can calculate large equations in his head in a matter of seconds. He also has no real sense of personal space, nor social awkwardness, and is very innocent considering his age (he is presumably in the 16-18 range). While talking to others he will often stay within about a foot of them, closer if they'll allow, and if he gets interested by something he'll start talking too fast to follow easily. He tends to skew conversations so that they'll return to his interests; in other words, if you mention food, he will somehow end up talking about how cruel it is to cook and sell Slowpoke tails. If you mention puzzles, he'll start lecturing on Void Cubes and Menger sponges. In general, he's a rather dangerous person to be around when he has too much free time.
The one thing N can't remain innocent about is animals/Pokemon and their respective cruelty. He has a tendency to go Social Justice Warrior on the subjects of human treatment of their fellow earthly inhabitants; after being rescued from the wild he was raised around only Pokemon who were hurt by humans, so he became very biased about it. He believes that the only way for Pokemon (and animals) to be truly happy is for them to be free, and therefore any human who keeps them as pets is completely in the wrong and must be challenged. The problem is that because of his bias, he doesn't understand that others are trying to improve the world for Pokemon as well. He sees any human operation involving Pokemon, and all technology designed for Pokemon, as an insult to nature that must be destroyed. In layman's terms, he is a member of the Pokemon world's PeTA. (Actually, he's the leader.)
N normally establishes as much physical contact as he can while talking to people, which is born from his inability to interract with any humans during his childhood. He is happiest when he is near someone; brushing shoulders, hugging, snuggling, anything of the sort. His goal in life is to be friends with everyone. This is shown often in canon as, while other sprites will remain one or two spaces away from the MC, N's will always be directly next to/in front of them. The setback is that he's never been exposed to the concept of romance, and doesn't understand it at all. He feels crushes toward some people, but doesn't know what to do about them. In the end he normally becomes overly forward and will just establish more contact with that person than anyone else, but still calls them a "friend" because he doesn't know the proper term for the relationship he wants. In worst case scenarios this could end in him greeting a new person with a kiss on the lips, and then asking to be friends. That is seriously how bad he is with people.
Side-note: He doesn't understand that sex is a thing. He still thinks a stork (staravia?) brings babies to couples who love each other.
If need be, N can be very serious and mature. He is highly uncomfortable with anything that requires him to do so, but he can speak eloquently and behave in a respectable manner. He just happens to be more at home acting vaguely like an animal and laughing about life. Normally he enters new situations with a grim face, but will quickly open up and be cheerful as can be once his nerves settle.
First Person: Hmm... it seems I'm not in my home anymore.
I saw a cat just now. I assume that's what it was. This is a strange concept, definitely. Creatures like that are believed to be myths from older civilizations, before the evolution of Pokemon. I've never seen one up close, although it didn't seem very interested in me.
My only stipulation with this is that, assuming I have landed myself in a time period where things such as cats exist, there would be no Pokemon here. And with that in mind, I don't believe I know what to do with myself.
Well, I suppose it can't be helped. I may as well introduce myself, and hope to find my place among you. My name is N. I would like very much to be your friend.
Third Person: It was a boring ride. N didn't remember when exactly he woke up, but that mostly had to do with how the train seemed to be going through endless expanses of the same place. He fell asleep off and on throughout the journey, and somehow didn't even think about why he was there. His journey had thrown him in so many loops that it no longer made any real difference.
When the train stopped, he walked off and looked around to figure out his surroundings. He learned absolutely nothing by looking around, except that this was not anywhere in Unova. Or... possibly, anywhere in Japan. The signs posted up were not in the normal font or pattern, and the air just seemed foreign. He sent out a few calls, the cries of common Pokemon from different regions, but nothing seemed to reply. However, a creature that looked a bit like a brown Purrloin looked up curiously as it slunk past. A cat, maybe? This had already been strange... and now, creepy.
A hand moved up to scratch the back of his neck as he looked around. No pokemon, no humans, nothing but strange signs. His other hand clutched his necklace, and felt something new against the knuckles; he looked down to see a watch hung around his neck. Some sort of X-Transeiver? He snorted quietly and held it up for inspection before testing the buttons and teaching himself its functions. No, it was not a X-Transeiver. Yes, it worked mostly the same way. And yes, it was definitely something he could use to his advantage.
