[cs=2] [style=text-align: center; font-family: open sans condensed; font-size: 16px; border-bottom: solid 2px #222222; margin-bottom: 4px; text-transform: center;]MATSUBA YUREI Matsuba Yurei; Mortimer; Morty BACKGROUND Twenty-four years ago on September 7th, Mortimer was born in the city of Ecruteak. His family came from a line of gifted human beings, gifted with ‘the sight’; a psychic mutation that gave Matsuba – more commonly known as Morty- and his kin the ability to see things and locations at a faraway distance. But this gift came with a price. Morty and his family was ostracized for their gifts, many people calling them ‘demons’ and ‘monsters’. But it wasn’t always like this. A long time ago, when the Brass Tower remained unburned, the people of Ecruteak held the Yurei family in awe and admiration. They were the only ones capable of meeting with the legendary birds, Ho-Oh and Lugia, without causing them to take flight. It is because of them that the people of Ecruteak felt connected with the great pokemon. However, when the tower fell and the birds forever left, the family lost their usefulness, and, in time, the honor they held. Some even went so far as to blame them for the burning of the Brass Tower, saying that the lightning bolt came to punish Ecruteak for relying on demonic arts. Morty’s parents, grandparents and so on did everything they could to restore their family’s honor- to prove to modern Ecruteak that they weren’t demons and monsters. Morty, however, was indifferent about it all. He became callous to the harsh words people said about him and his family, and instead found solace with the ghosts of the burned tower. It came to a point that Morty could call every ghost living in the Brass Tower his friend. The ghosts of Ecruteak influenced the boy in more ways than one. They introduced him to the occult arts, for one thing, the demonic practices that has long been lost to the living. They also made him more like them; sometimes mischievous and daring, other times murderous and deadly. Regardless of how the community viewed his family, Morty’s ability as a pokemon trainer was unparalleled in Ecruteak. No one could ever beat him in a battle, so it wasn’t all that surprising that the League appointed him as Gym Leader. As a Leader he did wonders for the city. His ghosts patrolled the city in the shadows, capturing criminals left and right, lowering the crime rate exponentially. He also began teaching children the art of pokemon battling, which was difficult considering they, and if not them their parents, feared Morty, but he managed to get them to open up eventually. Most of the adults still didn’t trust the Gym Leader but a number of the younger generation have begun to look past his unusual gift and to the cheerful persona underneath. It’s quite ironic really that the boy who didn’t care how the community viewed his family did the most to clean their slate. Then the League began to change, morphing into what is now known as Lux. Morty agreed with the ideals Lux preached and welcomed them with open arms. He was an avid supporter of the new order even during its infancy stages. When Nox appeared and wreaked havoc across the regions Morty saw them as nothing more than terrorists. A bunch of people who believed they were better than the government that had their best interests at hear. Morty fought valiantly for Lux. And it became clear that he was force to be reckoned with. Like the ghosts under his command, the Gym Leader specialized in hiding in the shadows. Stalking his marks, unseen and unheard, before delivering the fatal blows. He became one of Lux’s most dangerous killers. He was sad to see the Ecruteak community disappear, especially when his family opted to leave, when Lux turned the city into a military stronghold. But he knew sacrifices had to be made for the greater good, and this just strengthened his resolve to defeat Nox and end this war. OCCUPATION Gym Leader – but ever since Ecruteak became a military base he rarely sees anyone who wants to challenge him in a Gym battle. So instead he helps train new recruits in the militia camp if he’s not working as a Sentinel for Lux or planning one of the city’s grand festivals. ALLEGIANCE Lux – He believes in their ideals and believes that all the atrocities they had to do were necessary to defeat Nox and bring peace to the world. TRAITS [/style]

[atrb=border,0,btable][atrb=width,420,btable] POST SAMPLE

[atrb=style,padding: 0 10 20 10][atrb=style,border-bottom:#222222 4px solid] Perched atop the iconic Bell Tower, Morty watched with mild sadness as the citizens of Ecruteak filed out of the city. Here and there, he saw shadows move when they shouldn’t and sometimes eyes glowed in the distance. The Leader knew them to be his arsenal of ghost pokemon whom he sent to ensure that the people of Ecruteak left safely. This was the largest group of citizens to leave so far, after all, and he wanted them to leave safety. He didn’t know why he cared so much for the people that hated him, for the people that ostracized his family. Perhaps it’s because of the title he now holds. Perhaps being a Gym Leader psychologically made you care for your city and the people thereof regardless of how they treated you. It was possible, considering that he has yet to have met a Gym Leader that didn’t care for their city. He kept his eyes trained on the scene below him while his shadow began to lengthen, instantly causing the temperature around him to drop. Eyes glowed from behind him just as his shadow peeled itself off the ground and materialized into a Gengar – his Gengar, Kane, named after the Brass Tower where he was caught. “Geeeeeng” hissed the ghost pokemon, silently perching on his master’s blonde head. “Hello there, Kane.” said Morty, “how’s mom and dad? Did they reach their new home safetly?” Kane nodded. “Do they like it?” Kane nodded again. His parents left today as well, but long before the rest of the city did. He knew they would be safe in their travels with his father having the Sight and all, but he sent Kane, with them just in case. He was glad to know they were safe, but more than a bit sad that they decided to leave. Plus, they were safer here. In Ecruteak, under his watchful eye, nothing could harm them. He was the Gym Leader, one of the best in the region. And in his home turf, with his ghost pokemon scattered all around and Lux soldiers in ever nook and cranny; nothing could harm them. Nothing. But the rest of Johto… He sighed. Well, there was nothing he could do now. “Kane, tell Fujin to come get me.” Kane nodded and disappeared into the night, only to rematerialize in front of Morty with the Drifblim in tow. The Gym Leader pushed himself off the floor and stepped onto his ghost pokemon’s large, bulbous head. He gave one last look at the tarnished statue of Ho-Oh --- He really should have that removed. “Fujin, let’s go home” he said, just as the last of today’s citizens left the city. As the ghost pokemon began it’s descent, shadows began shifting all around the trio while laughter and screams filled the cold night air. Kane drifted from his master’s side and began circling him. The rest of the Ecruteak’s ghosts, with their high-pitched giggles and chilling wails, soon joined in. It was a spectacle to behold: a man descending from atop the Bell Tower, surrounded by a myriad of pokemon that gave little children nightmares. “Oh, and Kane?” he called, prompting the ghost pokemon to hover in front of him “did you remember to give the Lux soldiers’ our wonderful surprise tonight?” Kane smiled, just as men and women screamed in shock, fear and possibly disgust. “Perfect.”
