Duality: Gerry/Jie-Rui

Published:

Description

Real Name: 岳 杰禮Yue Jie-Rui
Western Name: Gervas (Gerry is acceptable as well)
Age: 21

Personality: He doesn’t like talking about himself very much but he’s by no means quiet. He is often very willing to chat about nothing however and has a poor grasp of personal boundaries. He is however reserved when it comes to superiors though, falling back on being extremely polite and quiet towards them. With just about anyone else, don’t invite him to your house or room as he’ll immediately begin dismantling it and asking questions about everything. This also includes when you let him in on your personal life as he’ll pick at that too. Once someone makes it clear that he should back off he becomes extremely quiet and reserved and often times will take it as a message to avoid the person altogether. He seems to have a belief that when it comes to interactions he should go 100% one way or the other just as much so as he believes putting 100% effort into his work or merely not trying at all. This often results in him being an amazing worker or a horrific one. He has an immature view on life at times and sometimes acts as though he’s invincible though on rare occasions he’ll have moments of clarity and maturity. He has an air of pride about him especially when fighting which often leads to problems from his arrogance.
History: As he doesn’t share much of his life before coming here not much is known. Though it isn’t uncommon for him to slip some of his history into conversations. He says he’s travelling and trying to study abroad to understand other cultures better. He comes from a noble bloodline and has dropped hints at the wealth his family has back home but also has dropped hints of some bitter or sad feelings as well. He has an unusual eye-colour, a dark purple-blue, which he said was one of the reasons his father wanted him to travel abroad as a sort of diplomat. He studied martial arts though western fighting currently fascinates him. He also studies a lot currently and obviously studied a lot before because his English is so clear though he has issues reading and writing English.
Fun Facts:
He’s a light weight when it comes to drinking.
He speaks almost perfect English but swears in his native tongue. A lot.
He fights with a qiang and specializes in baguazhang style fighting.
If this were real world, he would have hailed from the Song Dynasty and Jurchen Dynasty, being mixed race.
If he had a religion he would be a Buddhist.
He’s pretty open to people calling him whatever and actually would prefer to be called by a western name as he makes faces and flinches when hearing his name butchered.
He plays the erhu in his downtime.

寶/Bao/Skarmory/Female
Keen Eye
Metal Sound, Steel Wing, Iron Head, Spikes

This pokemon Jie-Rui came across during his travels. The skarmory was injured so now she has some armour that isn’t completely natural, some body parts replaced by clockwork like bits. The pokemon is extremely loyal to Jie however has a horrifying attitude to others, not hesitating to attack strangers unless called off prior to by her owner. It’s hard to part Jie with her and he finds Bao’s armour fascinating to study.

娟/Juan/Mienfoo/Female
Inner Focus
Drain Punch, Dual Chop, Aura Sphere, Reversal

A pokemon he practices martial arts with, often studying how she moves. Juan’s extremely calm and held together, often times not willing to attack unless provoked, preferring to avoid fights. She’s very stubborn at times though and Jie sometimes has problems commanding her, mostly due to the fact she has little respect for him. Jie is still hoping for the day she will respect and listen to him as her owner.

亮/Liang/Tepig/Male
Blaze
Smog, Defense Curl, Flame Charge, Toxic

A pokemon received before leaving his home. The pokemon is actually rather jittery and nervous around others, preferring to avoid fights altogether or to hide behind Jie. He relies on defensive capabilities and poisoning targets and waiting a fight out rather than head on battling. Jie hopes to train Liang to become a strong fighter.

I'm trying a more simplistic style for Duality since this one has a comic requirement. I'll probably be doing more of my normal-ish style on tumblr in case anyone was curious.
