Extra Information

Personality:

Positive traits

Darce is quite sociable since he runs a business and believed it’s of most importance. He is also a great listener who wouldn’t mind being someone you can just come and vent out as long as you don’t go overboard or he will feel rather uneasy and nervous. He is a very caring individual and will go out of his way to make sure the other person is doing fine. Darce is capable of adapting to new environments pretty well, he actually chose to step away from a wealthy lifestyle in order to do what he is doing now.  He likes to be organized and has a tendency of repaying back people who have been kind to him with friendly gestures. Raised to be a proper gentlemen he does not dare to do anything that can go against that, meaning he would be unable to be disrespectful to people (not like he even has the guts to do so) or having to interact with people in certain ways that would seen scandalous in the public's eye. He gets easily flustered and embarrassed if placed in situations that seem inappropriate such as talking about private life matters like what goes on behind closed doors with is partner.

Negative Traits:

Darce has a tendency of believing everyone has some good in them and isn't aware of the possibility of people trying to take advantage of him. He can come off as naive in many cases and will most likely accept anything you offer him so long as it's not against his morals. He is easily manipulated and lacks the basic understanding of stranger danger, it is because of this that he allows many people inside his shop with no care in the world of what their background is...but honestly you could be a killer and he will not believe it even if he saw you kill someone in front of him because he will try to tell himself that it could have been out of self defense or something...When he has a bump on the road however, he tends to over think the situations and will cause him to cloud his mind and unable to do his job properly. He has a hard time warming up to people and opening himself up  in a intimate level because he doesn’t like remembering how vulnerable he was or having to reopened old wounds that might cause him to sink back into a state of depression and anxiety. Darce tends to fear people or situation instead of feeling anger so if he come across someone he develop a strong bond with and had a rather hurtful experience he will shut himself away from the world for as long as possible till he either finds a solution or Cyrus finds a way to force him back up on his feet.

Side Hobby: Sketching,reading, heading out to eat with close friends, and maintaining his pokemon's well being.

Bio:

Darce grew up in a very wealthy family with his birth parents and many servants who cared for him. He had little to none interactions with his birth parents since they were mostly away on business and maintain their families title. It was because of this that Darce was raised by the helpers of the mansion and did everything from preparing his meals, selecting his clothing, teaching him proper manners, and so on. Anything and everything Darce did was strictly supervised and was controlled by people like strings on a puppet, he had little saying in it all. Darce was told from the very beginning how his life should play out, who he will marry, who to represent, which industries his to take over, and how to maintain the family honor. Darce felt like an emotionless robot that had no real purpose in his life other than being another tool for his parents to gain more power in the world, and that sinks him deeper into a hole of hopelessness.

There was a point in his life where he was unable to take this sort of treatment towards him that he started to break down into deep depression. Being kept in 4 secured walls for most of his life with little freedom has taken a toll on him that even when he was given access to the outside world was only part of a plan to have Darce be used in his parents favor. There were times where Darce began to sneak away from attending mandatory social gatherings that were held for only the most wealthiest and powerful people in the region in order to hide away within a forest nearby the mansion for some peace and quiet. One day during his usual visits towards the forest Darce meet his first and most trusting pokemon, Cyrus.The way the two met was strangely comforting for the both of them, yet through their first encounter the two eventually grew fond of each other over time.  

It was through his interactions with his new friend Cyrus that he started to gain the courage stand up against what his family wanted he to do by deciding to escape his current life for a new one. The two planned the trip out together and without further to do they secretly ran away through the forest not looking back. Darce and Cyrus eventually found their way in Ivywood and started up a Spa & Massage shop after several trips around different regions.

Relationships: 

Ace by KaetlynShae 

Darce's closest friend and perhaps the only other person he feels he can truly be himself with and open up to. Ace always seems to know how to make him feel welcomed and like a normal individual. The two tend to go out for walks and interact with small chatter while the occasional misfortunes Ace has to deal with by Darce's ghost pokemon and Amir the meowth. Darce is unaware of Amir's distaste towards Ace after one night catching him red handed stealing a few jewelry and later reporting it to Darce. Amir does everything in his power to make Ace's life as miserable as possible whenever she comes to visit Darce. 

Hanna by BananaTaco 

Currently business partners over at the Pokesalon! the two somehow were placed under one roof to run the place and with Darce's calm and friendly nature he took a liking to working with Hanna, although she tends to be a handful. He admires her boldness even if it ends up with her embarrassing him like sticking to the new dress code when he would rather hide under a rock then expose his chest in such a bold manner, because of this one may wonder if that is the main reason he likes to hold Nani so close to his chest when working at the salon...who knows?

Main Active Party 

Mankey ( Cyrus )

These two go way back and Darce is never seen without Cyrus tagging along. One day Darce decided to avoid a social gathering he was forced to attend by his parents, he sneaked out of the party for some private time alone in the nearby forest.  On his way there he happened to cross paths with a wild Mankey throwing a tantrum that caused other wild pokemon to flee in fear. The wild mankey apparently lost sight of his colony and was unsure of what to do so he resolved to his caveman like manners. Instead oh fearing for his own safety the young male decided to observe the mankey a little more and was bold enough to try and interact with it through small conversations. To be honest the man was actually kinda envious of the mankey for being able to express his true feelings out in the public without a care in the world...something  the long haired male lacked. It was through their first encounter that the two started to slowly form a bond that later helped Darce escape the tight grip his parents had on him that he was able to flee to start a whole new lifestyle.

A quick- tempered pokemon who will not hesitate to chase you down if you piss him off. He is Darce’s right hand man and is usually in charge of greeting the clients at the front of the shop. He is always seen wearing a chocolate brown bow tie that goes well with his groomed fur that gives him a  formal look to him. However, client should be warned, he doesn’t take any sort of rudeness (this also means giving him direct eye contact for too long...it pisses him off and he will think you are challenging his strength)  too well and will make sure to get rid of that issue asap, so you better start running. As silly as it may seem for these two to form some kind of partnership, Darce makes sure to keep his little furry friend calm and well behaved through massage therapy.


Haunter (Keir) 

(Gastly, previous form  )A trickster at heart, Keir will do just about anything to ruin Cyrus's day to the point of causing Cyrus to act out in outrage and causing property damage he later has to clean up after. Keir appeared in Cyrus and Darce's life one night during closing time. Cyrus was cleaning up when he overheard strange voices that almost mimic those of children laughter. Things began to get a little spooky around Cyrus that night and he began to see a ghostly like child calling out for him. In short, Cyrus told Darce about it and began to investigate the entire shop till they caught the culprit, a wild Gastly. However, Cyrus being a fighting type had no chance and was shortly defeated shamefully. Gastly took a liking to Cyrus's quick tempered that he continued to stay close to Cyrus until they became inseparable and soon enough joined Darce's party as Keir.  

(Haunter, current stage)
Previously known as a gastly the ghost pokemon has finally evolved into a haunter. Still remaining a trickster at heart Keir continues to do what he does best, ruin Cyrus day for laughs. However after evolving he tends to be a bit meaner than his previous form and even so bold as use his new looks to lures pokemon into his pranks.


Mewoth ( Amir )

Amir is a calm tempered cat who loves shiny objects and money more than anything in the whole world, aside from Darce of course. This money driven cat was adopted out by Darce over at the Adoption Center one day while Darce was away from the shop and left Cyrus in charge until he returned. The long haired male came across the adoption center and decided to check it out. As he walked inside he instantly spotted the lonely meowth in it's containment. The meowth reminded him of his childhood past with a stray meowth he once nurtured back to health. Meowth were always seen as a vermin of the streets by many but, the young male thought otherwise. He grew fond of the pokemon species over time but sadly he was forced to get rid of the stray meowth once he was caught hiding it inside the mansion he lived in as a boy. Without hesitation the young trainer applied for the meowth in hopes of being chosen. As fate may have had it, Darce made Amir part of his permanent team. Amir is now the cashier over at the shop. He isn't afraid to earn some 'extra cash' so he is seen usually trying to grab hold of unsuspecting trainer's wallet. 

While he may seem a bit untrustworthy he still does a proper job over at the shop and is usually second in command in case Cyrus is no where in sight or attending to other matters. He and Nani get in a constant argument about where the spending goes due to how much the kecleon enjoys going out shopping for the latest cutest things. However, Nani usually win him over when she claims the props she picks out will make them more money in the long run. 

Kecleon ( Nani )

Darce's little princess! Nani was found wondering in a nearby forest where she spoted a very well dressed gentleman with a few other pokemons with the same dress code. Taking an instant interest in the way they were well dressed she decided to stalk the group where ever they went for a few weeks. Every now and then the exterior of the shop would be found beautifully decorated in flowers and will always leave Darce in awe. One day Darce and Cyrus caught the little kecleon red handed and instead of being chased away Darce attempted to express his admiration towards her decorating skills by gifting the kecleon her very first dress.  At that moment the kecleon felt the need to visit them more often with flower gifts. During her time of visiting Darce while also assisting him with grooming pokemon she decided to make herself a permanent member of the team whether the rest of the pokemon liked it or not. 

She is  very trustworthy around the shop and attends to the guest at the best of her ability. She has a huge attraction towards fashion and proper manners. Nani has a thing for details and order and often finds ways to change things in her surroundings for the better. She will make sure to keep the boys well behaved and up to date on the latest fashion look! While she may look like a a young proper lady she isn't afraid to ruin her cute dress to give you a piece of her mind, and probably inflict twice the pain for ruining her dress. 

As of now she is currently the main pokemon to go to when it comes to handling the contest hall!! 

Rumors have it that this little kecleon is currently in the middle of developing a love interest towards a particular poetic Sableye known as Edgar Allen Poe  but little is known about how these two came to meet...   (Poe belongs to BananaTaco  )
