[Larkin Nightly]

Larkin.Alexander.Nightly

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very, very
Mad world, mad world..

DON'T JUDGE ME
let.me.tell.you.what.i.look.like
He has messy, bright red hair that spills down around his face. Usually giving him the 'sexy bedhead look'. His eyes are the same color as his hair, maybe a shade or two lighter. Occasionally he wears faint eyeliner when preforming on the streets, though lately he has worn it on other occasions as well. He stands at 5'8 weighing 148lbs with the kind of toned body you'd find on a professional soccer player rather than a fifteen year old boy. He also has a small red crown tattoo on the left side of his chest; as well as a red star on each side of his 'V line', which is usually half hidden by the waist line of his jeans.
As for attire; his style can be rather flamboyant and colorful. He loves the color red and tends to wear at least one red thing all the time, not including his red dog collar which he never seems to take off. Another thing he never seems to take off would be his headphones, usually hung around his neck if not covering his ears.

if.i.had.to.sum.it.all.up;
Sweet and charming Larkin is a natural people-pleaser. He enjoys helping others and acts like an older brother to those he meets even if their older than him. He is friendly and humorous, always chattering up a storm and never letting things get him down. He values his friends above all else, even music, and would give his life to protect them.
That is what people see, anyway.
Truthfully his positive attitude and smiles are a mask, hiding his pain and sorrow. He is emotionally scarred from his past no matter how hard he tries to hide it; but doesn't want anyone to realize the real him, worried he would only worry them or become a hindrance.
He loves his Arcanine Ty more than anything, viewing him more like a brother than just one of his pokemon. Knowing he can always count on Ty to confide in and to help him when he needs it. Which is the only thing that has gotten him thus far.

if.i.had.to.write.an.essay;
Despite his kind happy personality, Script's past was anything but perfect. His mother died during childbirth, leaving his father alone with the child. At first his father tried very hard to hold it together and raise Larkin. But as time passed and Larkin grew, his appearance became more and more alike his mother's; causing bitterness to grow within his father. His father couldn't stand looking at the child and seeing the woman he lost, and finally he snapped.
When Larkin was two his father drove him out to the countryside and tossed him out of the car. Intent on abandoning him for good, but Larkin didn't understand. He fought and clung to his father's leg crying but to no avail, his father kicked and punched him until he lost consciousness and let go. Then after tossing the child into the ditch his father sped off. Never to be seen again.

Luckily a passing policewoman noticed the young boy laying in the ditch and took him to the hospital. Staying by his side when he awoke. Being still to young to even really speak sentences, he couldn't tell her where his home was. Nor even his name, since at the time, he didn't even have one. That he knew of anyway. His father had only ever called him 'child'.

Once he recovered from the ordeal the policewoman brought him to the orphanage. Before leaving she told the caretaker his name was Larkin, named after the songbird due to the fact that he had been singing and humming the entire car ride despite the depressing situation. At first Larkin didn't want her to go, but was soon coaxed to go play with the other children. He spent three years in the orphanage before he was adopted by a young couple, yet his troubles were far from over.
In the first few days at his new home it became apparent they didn't care about him, for even actually want him there for that matter. They simply wanted the money the government gave them for having him. Simple. Corrupt. His new father was even worse than his real one. Constantly hitting him when he got in the way and even going so far as to lock him in a dog cage for days. Despite this Larkin blamed himself for their abuse. More than anything he wished the policewoman would come rescue him again. But she never did.

After two years in that hellhole Larkin ran away. Now seven years old he took to living in the streets. Scrounging for food and sleeping in a park. In his mind no one wanted him, he was worthless. But that all changed the day he met Ty. He'd been sleeping when the young growithe approached him, curling up at his side without a word. When Larkin awoke he was at first scared, having never really been this close to a pokemon before. But something about the Growlithe called out to him. Maybe it was the pokemon's unique eye marks, which almost looked like bruises. Never the less the two bonded and together survived the harshness of the city. After six years living on the street he and Growithe, by now nicknamed Typhoon, came across a poster. It was for a coordinator contest and depicted a beautiful pokemon singing, giving the young boy a hope he'd never had before. He knew many kids younger than him left home and journeyed around the world with pokemon, either collecting ribbons or badges. Yet it had never occurred to him to do the same, until now. The very next day he set out with Ty to begin their own journey. Intent on becoming a Coordinator and making a name for himself.

Two years of hard training have passed since then. He worked hard to get where he is and has finally raised the perfect pokemon to win contests. Joining him and Ty(Now a powerful Arcanine) on their journey is a Gardevoir named Sweets, a Togekiss named Bella, and a Plusle named Kitkat. And their about to make their big break.
