History	Being born as an egg and hatched to a competitive battling trainer is never the right way to start off life-- the small Charmander kicked open his shell under the pair of eyes from a young man and a large bird Pokemon. His expression immediately became sour, seeing the shy attitude of the child. Donating the Charmander to a nearby Pokemon Professor, the Fire Type waited his turn to be chosen as a rookie's partner. A young girl came when he was only a few months old, interested in the thought of a legendary Charizard. But throwing him into a fight immediately after, she soon learned he was not a killing machine; the unnamed Pokemon sobbed in pain after being scratched by a wild Fletchling. Returned that same day, the Kanto 'mon learned his first taste of being abandoned. His soft nature and gentle spirit were not for the rigorous fighting trainers went through. The cycle repeated itself a for a third time before the Chamander learned love. The Pokemon Professor had no problem taking care of the starters before handing them out, but being returned a third time, after being donated nonetheless... he almost considered just releasing the poor thing. The girl that walked in the doors that morning was not inexperienced, having a Gogoat and a Meowstic following her endearingly. The professor warned her about the Charmander's past up front, advising to choose either of the other two, but soon as he spoke of the Charmander losing so many homes, she took his Pokeball without hesitation. Walking out of the building, she held the lizard in her arms and spoke to him. The 'mon was confused... no one had ever shown interest in him. The professor had cared for him, but he had always just been distasteful to those around him. The girl dubbed him Alduin, looking into the Charmander's eyes and smiling. Alduin felt his heart pound from anxiety... wouldn't this human just dump him like the rest? He couldn't survive in the wilds, the Charmander was frightened and unsure.  But as time passed, days became weeks, and Alduin found his heart opening up. The woman had been on the road for a few years in Kalos and knew her way around the region, content to raise her Pokemon at their own pace. As Alduin slowly opened up to her, he even started to want to battle for her. Finding some weak wild Pokemon, for the first time in his life the Charmander won a battle, using his new Draagon Claw technique on a wile Furfrou. Overjoyed, he let himself completely go, and found himself loving his trainer like he had never before. She was more than just someone to raise him... she was his first real friend. A few years passed and he did little battling in that time, but that wasn't a problem for her. However, one day Alduin was horrified to witness his Trainer collapse to the floor, unconscious. Fortunately it was in a PokeCentre, but the news was grim. After tests wee done, Alduin waited with the rest of her team only to learn she had an inoperable brain tumor. Devastated, the Charmander could do nothing but lay by her side in the hospital bed, her Meowstic on the other as the team loyally watched over their trainer. It felt like years to Alduin, but in only a few days of being in a coma, did their trainer pass away. As protocol, her family was contacted and sent to pick up her Pokemon, however Alduin did not want to live with her parents. Or any human for that matter. He fled, grief and loss making him not think clearly. The Charmander found himself on the edge of the region, by the ocean, and resided himself to start a new life somewhere else. Sneaking his way onto the boat, little did he know that the infection had already begun by then. Their boat was lucky-- no undead found them on their voyage, but upon hitting the mainland of Hoenn, packs of Linoone and Mightyena swarmed the foreigners. Screams pierced the air as Alduin found himself midst a massacre. Dodging undead and hiding behind bodies, he was able to get out of range before he was found. However now he had a new problem...he was alone, and in a place he'd never seen before. It was hard to survive for the young Pokemon, but he managed to hide out in abandoned buildings and avoided most undead contact either by running or hiding. It was after some time had passed that Alduin was in a bad spot-- chased and cornered by a pack of undead, he ran into the nearest escape he could find: the entrance to Meteor Falls. Running and running, Alduin never stopped running through the damp cave, terrified he would be caught. It was only after time passed and he fell over from exhaustion that the fire starter realised the worst news yet: he was hopelessly lost.
Appearance	"Charmander is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon with an orange body, though its underside and soles are cream-colored. It has two small fangs visible in its upper and lower jaws and blue eyes. Its arms and legs are short with four fingers and three clawed toes. A fire burns at the tip of this Pokémon’s slender tail, and has blazed there since Charmander’s birth. The flame can be used as an indication of Charmander's health and mood, burning brightly when the Pokémon is strong, weakly when it is exhausted, wavering when it is happy, and blazing when it is enraged. It is said that Charmander dies if its flame goes out." Alduin has the appearance of a normal Charmander in every way. His skin is smooth, tail flame healthy, and sports a pair of baby blue eyes. His mannerisms are the true oddities about the Fire Starter, often crouching or ducking his head in submission, fear and unease clear in his young eyes.
Personality	Pros: Passive, diplomatic, kind, protective, gentle, supportive Cons: Insecure, skiddish, shy, anxious, naive, lonely, short tempered Neutral: Soft spoken -Alduin tends to be suspicious when first meeting strangers, but at the same time he is naive enough to trust them even after only a few short words. He will tend to cling almost unhealthily close to anyone he believes will protect him. -Alduin is not completely helpless, he does know how to use his claws and fight if need be, he just does not enjoy it at all. At his low level, it is not like he could do much damage anyway, but he is not a pacifist, just does not enjoy it. -Likewise, he might not like to fight, but he will fiercely protect those he considers close, whether it be an undead or from verbal abuse, he finds it hard to stand down and not say something for his special person. -Alduin does have very bad abandonment issues, as well as separation anxiety to those he clings to. Currently he has no one else in his life, but before she passed, his trainer was his lifeline, now he is alone again. -Contradictory to his normally passive nature, he has a vicious temper when provoked. It is normally difficult to anger him, but when pushed far enough he attacks with claws and teeth. Due to no battle training, he tends to just go with primal urges and fight physically. -He is needy. When he is close to someone he needs to always be near, touching in any way, commonly involving him curled up and pressed close to them, nudging with his nose til he gets a pet on the head, as well as just laying on their feet. When scolded for being like this, he will be extremely ashamed and go hide away out of sight. -Likewise, to those he does not like or trust, he will not under any circumstance let them touch him, unless he attacks them in a battle. He finds disgust at being even so much as brushed by someone he despises.
User Notes	-Based off of my own Mega Zard X (that totes replaced my stater aha) and named after the dragon Alduin from Skyrim Elder Scrolls -Father was a Garchomp, giving him the bred moves. Dragon Claw was a gift from his trainer.
