History:
When Needles was a young Burmy, he was enamored with the idea of becoming a lawmon. Perhaps embarking on incredible adventures with the Trade Guild, or even becoming a scholar of the Enforcers! He studied hard, his passion aflame, but unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be.
How can a little Burmy become a lawmon? The other children asked. What can a little Burmy do against the monsters that make up our world? Come now, let's teach this weak Pokemon a lesson, and put him in his place.
He had studied so hard, and made himself as strong as he thought a little Burmy could be. Wrapped up in fibers of leaves and thorns, adorned with rocks and even padded with wood and scrap metal-- but none of it was enough. He wasn't enough. The children laughed and laughed as they ripped apart his sewn cloak, burned his books and left him to rot. Surely now, the children laughed, he'll understand that a little Burmy has no place as a lawmon!
In that point of despair, he wondered and wondered what he should do. There was no place for a little Burmy in a world of monsters, after all. He'd worked all his life for nothing. So what could he do?
He puzzled and puzzled and puzzled some more, not quite sure when he'd collapsed on the floor. Just as he thought nothing was worth this cost, someone asked--
"Are you lost?"
Personality:
Needles is a bit sporadic, feeling like everything needs to be in its proper place in order to work out. He's timid and unsure of himself, and plans out his tasks to the most minute detail in order to ensure that nothing will go wrong. His life is full of contingency plans and notes, reminders on how to act around certain folks and which others to avoid. It's very hard to catch him off guard, but when you do, the poor boy quickly will become a mess in his attempt to fix the error in his plans.
He wants to learn about this world, but is paradoxically afraid of it- fearing the uncertainty that life will bring outside of his sheltered safety net. Perhaps when he was younger, he had a more legitimate interest in his studies- now, he feels the only reason he should keep learning is to make sure the world has nothing to hide from him.
He can come off as quite rude a lot of the time, and combined with the standoffishness of Lost, it doesn't exactly make Team Dues the most popular band of outlaws among other Blue-Spirits. But if you take the time to let Needles warm up to you (and it can be a LONG time!) he can be an extremely valuable strategical insight to any self-respecting team.
Trivia:
- Male.
- Age is 24.
- He got his name from the leaf litter he preferred to make his cloak out of- oftentimes ending up covered in pine needles and thorns.
- The team's strategist. He knows how to point Lost's ire in the right direction to get stuff done.
- Doesn't like to get in the action of a fight, preferring to hang back and hinder opponents as much as possible. Lost and Needles are a great recon team because of this, able to confuse and trick their enemies rather than just making their way through with force.
- He wears the color for Team Dues on his scarf.
