Name: Xander Osborn

Age: 29

Gender: Male

Pokémon: Pangoro

Height: 6’11” ft.

Body Style: Tall, Muscular

Birthday: August 23

Home Island: Mystery Island

Personality: Xander is exactly what you’d expect someone who’s totem is a Pangoro would be like. He’s a bit rough around the edges and can be kind of scary when he’s angry but underneath that he’s a big teddy bear. He only ever loses his temper around bullies and annoying people. One of his biggest weaknesses are things that are small and cute…his rough mannerisms usually conceal this fact however. While not normally ill tempered Xander can be very hard to read due to his gruff nature. While not a cold person Xander sometimes has a hard time making his emotions clear making some people think he's just a brute. He temper can get ahead of him sometimes and if he's in a mood he's really antisocial. Overall he's mostly a nice guy but when he has a bad day look out!

In the dojo he mostly takes after his master and is a firm but positive teacher. If things get too rowdy he knows how to calm people down (mostly through intimidation!)

History: Xander was born in Lumiose City in the Kalos region. Although he had a good enough childhood in high school he fell in with the wrong crowd. He started smoking and drinking and generally being a delinquent. The only positive side to this part of his life in his mind is that he was able to evolve into his Pangoro form. During his senior year  his father told him that he needed to shape up or he’d never get anywhere in life an that he’d just become a loser. After a heated argument in which bad things were said on both sides Xander left home and didn’t return.
After he ran away from home Xander decided to try and crash on one of his friends’ couches but to his surprise not one of them would help. Still mad at his parents and now mad at his so called friends Xander decided to leave Lumiose City. For the next five years he traveled around the world picking fights; trying to become a master pugilist. 
As he blew from town to town he picked up many different skills leading him to become something of a jack of all trades. Most nights he slept outside however sometimes he could afford a motel room. He'd find a job as a cook here, a window washer there; doing this he was able to obtain money and skills without causing too much trouble. However that isn't to say he didn't cause trouble, he fought people for money, and sometimes he stole (Later on he would show regret for these decisions.) but at this point he was still just a stupid kid...
While traveling in Sinnoh for the first time in a long time he met a friendly face. As he traveled down the dirt road of Route 222 Xander felt a presence behind him. When he turned around he was met with an interesting sight. A Glameow, small and covered in battle scars; he was surprised that the thing could walk it looked so beat up. He shrugged it off and continued on his way. Later when he made it to Sunnyshore he felt the same presence and upon checking found the same Catty Pokémon tailing him. He bought something to eat and if some of it fell on the ground and the little Pokémon gobbled it up that was none of his concern.

Xander traveled to Hoenn the feline Pokémon ever trailing behind him, he decided to call her Miss Priss due to the snobby look she always seemed to have on her face. He made it to Hoenn’s Victory Road and while there he challenged a Meditite that was about half his size. Suddenly an old man came up to them. He introduced himself as the Meditite’s grandfather and said if Xander wanted a real challenge he should fight him. Xander at this point in his life was extremely cocky and readily accepted the old man’s challenge.
After Xander woke up he discovered that he was no longer in Victory Road. The old man reintroduced himself as Master Charem Guru and explained what happened during their fight. Unwilling to believe that he’d been so soundly trounced Xander challenged the older man to another fight. This time the old man took his time and right before the darkness enveloped him a second time Xander saw the old man transform…or at least he thought he did…
The second time he woke up after fighting the old man he decided to take in his surroundings. He was laying down on the porch of a Japanese style home. The old man was sitting beside him drinking a cup of tea. He explained that they were at his home on Mount Pyre, he continued and said that despite his rough edges he saw potential in Xander and that if would agree to it that he would train him. Xander never one to back down from a challenge quickly accepted.
The next four years were full of extremely difficult training as well as spiritual growth for Xander. During this time he began learning about martial arts and while he got a basic knowledge of a few his fighting type quickly allowed him to become a brown belt in karate. When the master decided that his training was complete he told him to go out into the world. Xander thanked the Master and his grandson for all that they’d done for him. He knew his journey wasn’t complete yet he knew exactly where he needed to go now… A few months later he arrived back again in Lumiose City; for the first time in nine years he was home. He made his way back to his house and was greeted with an surprising scene. His father looking much greyer then the last time he’d seen him playing catch with a young boy. Xander walked up to the pair and cleared his throat. When his father looked up his eyes widened and he swiftly grabbed the young boy’s hand before hurrying back inside the house. The ball they had been throwing quickly forgotten.
At that moment Xander felt as if he’d swallowed a block of cement yet at the same time he felt completely empty. He was about to turn around and walk away forever when the front door opened and his mother stepped out followed by his father and the boy. She locked eyes with him and hers started to get misty. She started to run towards him and Xander closed the gap. Xander hadn’t realized just how much he had missed his parents (but he most certainly didn’t cry he was completely stone faced thank you very much…) As the two hugged they were joined by his father and the boy. Within this group hug Xander rediscovered the feeling of home that he had completely missed during his time as a wanderer.
The now complete family went back into their home and a they celebrated the return of Xander. During the celebration he was formally introduced to his younger brother named Felix. That evening when his younger brother was sent to bed he had a serious conversation with his parents. He expressed deep remorse for the stupidity of his actions and explained what had happened during the years that he’d been missing. Much to his surprise for the most part his parents were relieved that he’d left town. It appeared that the gang he had formally run with had in later years gone full blown criminals! They had tried to knock over the Lumiose City bank and a few of them had been shot, including the leader; the rest were in prison! It seemed that not being able to crash on any couches that day had saved him a lot of trouble in the long run.!
Although he wanted to stay in Lumiose for awhile he knew he needed to move on and his parents seemed to realize this as well. After about a year or so after he arrived he came home one day to find his belonging packed up and an envelope filled with money sitting on the kitchen table. Beside it was a map and a letter; it read:
My dear son

Your mother and I can see how bored you are here, we love you but we both know that the last thing you want to do is be stuck in Lumiose City forever. You need to travel and see new places. On the table you’ll see there is a map. It is my firm belief that you will find what you’re looking for on these islands. Know that we all love you and only want your happiness.  I am…so proud of the man you have become honestly I only wish I could have been there to see the transformation.

Sincerely your father

In scribbled writing beneath his father’s he could see a p.s. from Felix
Big brother go have an adventure! - Felix

He most certainly wasn’t crying as he left home and got into the cab that would take him and Priss to Courmarine City; when he boarded the ferry that would take him to Raccolto Town he was starting to get excited! What would the future hold? Only time will tell…

Cat Name: Miss Priss
Much like her name would have you expect, Miss Priss is a bit of a snob around most people and she's also quite the trouble maker! She really seems to like Xander for some reason though he doesn't even know why… Before she started following Xander on that faithful day she lived in the streets and was the toughest fighter among the wilds in the area.

Talents: Proficient at a couple types of martial arts (Although his best is karate), Pretty good singer, Strong battler, Pretty good at cooking, and has many other seemingly random skills from his years as a wanderer. He’s an real example of a jack of all trades; but as they say he’s a master of none…(Except when it comes to battling he’s pretty scary in that regard…)

His birthday is the same as Hitoshi Ariga’s the man who created Pangoro.

Moveset:
Parting Shot / Fire Punch
Bulk Up / Strength

Parting Shot - Xander in the past used this attack for intimidating his opponents although he doesn't use it as much nowadays...
Fire Punch - A move taught to him by his mother (A Blaziken gijinka), he uses it mainly in combat but has found some practical uses for it as well.
Bulk Up - Do you even lift bro? Well by using Bulk Up Xander doesn't need to worry about such things... (At least for a little while, the effects disappear after some time passes.)
Strength - Combined with his Scrappy ability this full strength punch is his surprise attack against spectral opponents, plus it lets him move HUGE boulders so that's a bonus right?
