Ability: Adaptability
Moveset:
Acid - Has a strong stomache acid and suffers from stomache troubles fairly often (and is capable of digesting pretty much anything). Doesn't like using this move as it leaves a bad taste in his mouth and a sore throat
Water Pulse - Can cover large areas quickly in a faint layer of water. Used for gardening or signaling others they shall piss off. Can also create geysirs with this move for a focused variation
Thunderbolt - His weakest move, he can create zaps that are annoying at most. Another move he uses to show others they are overstepping boundaries. Sometimes used to recharge batteries or kick start a car
Rest - He recovers pretty well from minor injuries or sicknesses during sleep, it faintly helps with injuries or sickness that are more dangerous as well but doesn't replace professional treatment

Nature: Modest
Personality:
Highly values his alone time and can become aloof when people deny him that, even ending up getting aggressive when approached with things he likes. Easily stressed out within big crowds to the point of absent-mindedness and focusing on not bumping into anything/anyone rather than keeping up a conversation. Prefers either small social gatherings/ town festivals, or those with plenty of space. Is a very physical individual, preferring hugs over handshakes, sometimes forgetting what personal space is. Very quick to give people a hug when they need one, having enough patience to stick to them for as long as they need/want, though he is not good with words. Sometimes that lost in thought he continues his speech in his mind without saying anything. When nervous or in distress tends to repeat parts of previously said sentences. More interested in few but close friendships rather than many but distanced, he is very careful when to use the word "friend" and can get pissed of if people use it casually.

Not as quick to go along with people he doesn't know, has no problem if they join him in activities however. He prefers doing new things alone at first rather than be accompanied by others. Couch potato by choice who can very well do nothing for a week. As he quickly can get the feel of being used, he is wary with helping people, save for dire emergencies. Rarely calls in favors, or expects help in return. Able to stand up for people, esspecially when the aggressor pisses him off. In case this happens repeatedly and to a friend, he might become overly protective and is very grateful for others reminding him when it gets too much. Is a sleepyhead and needs a good amount of sleep per day, sometimes nodding off when on a break from work/ other activities.

Confident and not afraid to defend himself. Suffers from insecurities when it comes to disagreeing with people (say, an opinion on an art piece and he has a widely dfferent one), he does not have the problem when others disagree with him. Making him hesitate with answers or go for his best assumption on what the other would like to hear. Ends up apologising for extended periods of time when he thinks he has been rude. Can take jokes too serious and if you don't clear it up with him, can hold a grudge for a lengthy time. Somewhat pessimistic in nature, he likes being positively surprised instead of assuming it will go over well. When excited he likes bragging about himself. Tends to overestimate himself, being aware of it, it can still happen he gets severly into trouble. So and so with money. Perfectionist for personal things, esspecially his photography hobby. Frugal when it comes to living space and food. Organized and keeps his living space clean and neat, he doesn't mind a certain chaos but holds a standard he also awaits from other people.

Likes:  Dry foods and has an incredible sweet tooth (has a big preferrence for slightly older/dried cake), seafood; Sweet teas and soft drinks; Saturated colors on white; Baggy and longer clothing, bandanas; Board games; Summer season; Any sort of music with a strong rythm; Dry weather; People watching; Glow in the dark stuff; Old street light designs; Smoking (once in a while a good cigar or something of higher quality); Pen and Paper games (anything but medieval settings); Kitchens (he makes sure his kitchens are super clean)
Dislikes: Spicy foods, cheese; Alcohol; Darker/less saturated colors; Revealing or overall short clothes; Water/Swimming; Classical music and ambience; Libraries, museums, caves; Dark places/ night time (afraid of the dark); Loud people/music/noise (he is slightly sound sensitive, it can make him anxious); Being filmed/photographed (on most occasions, not always); Promises
Hobbies: Photography (mostly for archieving purpose rather than artsy stuff, occasionally working as freelancer); Geography; Cooking (not something he really likes, just something he does well and often)

History:
Youngest of three to a Salazzle mom, Dragalge mother and Drampa father. Has a Salandit brother and Salazzle sister. Being a braggy loner with a rather hearthfelt and touchy approach to socialization he rarely got to connect to people as most were too much for him and others found -him- too much. Thanks to his class being split and reorganized, he got moved into the one distant relatives of his, a Wimpod and Jangmo-o have been part of (age 8). As the two were just the right mix for his quirks, he quickly connected with them. Moving on to highschool (age 10) he caught on that his brother was victim to a bully. Shocked to find out that what he suffered from was similiar to things Julian occasionally did himself, or so he thought, he was set on trying to do better with people and help out more.

Starting to get more involved with his parents' jobs (age 13), he discovered his favour of physical work, taking more after his mothers in that aspect. It was also at that time he met one of his best friends, a Mareanie, who was fishing him out of a deep pond he found himself in after understimating the stability of a landing stage. And he couldn't swim back then. While helping out other pupils to near exhausting extends by now, the feel of being taken advantage off increased to a point of Julian stopping to offer help to casual aquaintances altogether or only for a good reason (age 15). With sixteen he found a side job as mailman and finished school a year later. After an accident with his moped (age 19) that twisted his right arm badly enough to keep him a few days hospitalized, he quit the job as he couldn't stand driving this much anymore. His Mareanie friend introduced him to her mother's shoemaker workshop by the time he mentioned to feel confident in using the arm for heavier lifting again. The friend, his two relatives and him moved together into a flat in the same year.

The four of them had big plans for the future but Julian found himself stressing the matter. A lot of the plans failed as he rarely felt good with the directions they took despite liking the ideas and trying them out. When his Mareanie friend got offered a job abroad (age 23) he too quit the work at her mother's place (age 24). Mostly as she was the main reason he enjoyed coming to work, yet not deeming it as wasted time and highly appreciating the gained knowledge. Finding part time work for a big kitchen, he offered to help out when workers left or got fired. Yet his patience drew thin and with the added work his arm started acting up to a point he couldn't use it for hours. After leaving the kitchen behind with twenty-seven he took on several side jobs. None of them even remotely interesting enough to consider working full time for.

Remaining in frequent contact, his two relatives joked he could go and visit his friend abroad to join her in various job endeavours again. Or at least get a breather from the stagnation that moved into his life. Not against the idea, he planned for a short trip. Yet miscalculating his travel money by a huge amount he was not even halfway there when he ran out of cash. Thinking up a plan B, he now has to make due, at Springleaf. Racking up on some cash and getting a cheap place to stay.

- Prefers eating things with the hands instead using the silverware (though, if you tell him he won't)
- His right arm and the hand are slightly limited in it's movabilty, he picked up writing with his left in the time after the accident. In general you might see him do a lot with the left when it comes to finicky things
- Owns a moped (green in color), though he only rarely uses it anymore
- Bad sense of direction
- Sometimes after a lengthy conversation his tongue sticks out slightly which is something he rarely notices (his tongue is forked). He also tends to flash his tongue if he's short for words, annoyed or concentrating.

- Gets cold easily
- Makes accurate purring impressions
- Speaks the German Sign language, preferring to sign when it's too loud for him or in very high stress situations
- Actually gives really nice massages
